Alliant Techsystems, Lockheed Martin and Northrop Grumman to Pursue
Multi-Role Weapons
(Wireless News Via Acquire Media NewsEdge)
Alliant Techsystems, Lockheed Martin, and the Northrop Grumman Corp.
announced that they have signed a teaming agreement to jointly pursue
the emerging market for advanced capability multi-role weapons.
According to company officials, this team provides any potential
customer in this market with the product options that offer the best
capabilities, schedule, and price available. This is achieved through
the integration of the capabilities that the team provides across
sensors, automatic target recognition, guidance navigation and control,
air vehicles, propulsion, lethality, survivability, mission planning,
platform integration, system engineering, and program management.
As the F-22 Raptor, F-35 Lightning II, unmanned aerial systems, and
future aircraft platforms are fielded over the next decade, the team
believes that an advanced multi-role weapon requirement will emerge in
the future that covers both the air-to-air and air-to-ground missions.
This team, with its current weapon programs and demonstrated advanced
technology capabilities, is confident that it will offer the customer
options to meet this need.
ATK is an aerospace and defense company.
Lockheed Martin is principally engaged in the research, design,
development, manufacture, integration and sustainment of advanced
technology systems, products and services.
Northrop Grumman Corp. is a global defense and technology company.
