Northrop Grumman
Corporation (NYSE:NOC) executed a Memorandum of Understanding at the
Sixth National Radar Seminar in Bali, Indonesia with PT Industri
Telekomunikasi Indonesia and the Research Centre For Electronics And
Telecommunications of The Indonesian Institute Of Sciences to
facilitate collaboration on pending ground-based radar opportunities
in Indonesia. The Northrop Grumman AN/TPS-78 is the latest generation of
state-of-the-art radars made possible by advances in high power
transistor technology and designed to operate in some of the harshest,
most unforgiving environments. Proven in the field, the S-Band
long-range AN/TPS-78 is the choice of the U.S. Air Force and customers
worldwide. "With this agreement, Northrop Grumman will bring its recognized
leadership in ground radars together with our Indonesian business
partners' combined expertise in electronics research and manufacturing
and knowledge of the unique needs of the Indonesian government," said
Robert Royer, vice president of international systems at Northrop
Grumman's Land and Self Protection Systems Division. "Our team looks
forward to participating in the upcoming Indonesian ground-based radar
competition designed to help Indonesia increase air surveillance
control and secure its border."
