Northrop Grumman targets Indian Homeland Defence Market

Northrop Grumman continues to lead the defence industry in surveillance and fighter sensor technology. Whether maintaining border and maritime security, or providing the finest systems in fighter situational awareness and survivability, successful government agencies and military forces of the millennium will focus on how technology meets mission requirements. “Northrop Grumman will focus on supporting homeland defence modernization. With a wide range of capabilities available in this area we are ready to support India’s immediate needs. Our relationship with India goes back more than 25-years when we first provided target drones (KD2R5) for the Indian Army, Air Force and Navy. Northrop Grumman also competed for the IAF’s advanced jet trainer (TF-5), and we have installed numerous air traffic control communications systems and radars. The company continues to provide unmanned ground vehicles for the Indian Army and marine navigation systems for the Navy” said John Brooks, president Northrop Grumman International Inc. “But our eye is also on the future. We believe that strategic partnerships are the way to provide the best solutions to our customers and we have demonstrated that by creating partnerships with Satyam, Hindustan Aeronautics, Bharat Electronics, and Dynamatic Technologies,” he added. “Last year we opened new offices in New Delhi to meet India’s growing demand for homeland defence upgrades, aerospace and commercial capabilities and technologies. Northrop Grumman is competing for MMRCA as a major partner with Boeing on the F/A-18 E/F and with Lockheed Martin on F-16IN Super Viper. We bring significant, relevant capabilities for homeland defence modernization and command & control, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (C2ISR) for the Integrated Defence Staff by designing and developing advanced defence electronic systems, and Military and Civilian air traffic control”. The company offers a broad range of products and technologies to meet India’s homeland defence needs. These include the E-2D Advanced Hawkeye surveillance aircraft, the MQ-8B Fire Scout vertical takeoff unmanned vehicle and the Joint Multi-Mission Expeditionary Craft (JMEC).
