ROLLING MEADOWS, Ill., Jan. 4, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The U.S. Special Operations Command has selected Northrop Grumman Corporation (NYSE:NOC) to provide advanced countermeasure systems for AC-130J and MC-130J aircraft.
Under the terms of the $32.8 million award, Northrop Grumman's Land and Avionics C4ISR division will provide radio frequency countermeasure systems to detect, identify, locate, deny, degrade, disrupt and defeat threats to these aircraft.
"Our solution is designed to detect and defeat not only current radio frequency threats, but also to have the flexibility to protect our warfighters as the threat evolves," said Jeff Palombo, Northrop Grumman division vice president and general manager.
