Northrop Grumman is developing an exportable version of its eCORE (enhanced C4ISR Operationally Responsive Enterprise) COTS-based architecture after US Army testing showed it increased time available for data analysis by some 50%.
Speaking at the AUSA conference in Washington, DC on 10 October, Ed Bush, VP of C4ISR Networked Systems at Northrop Grumman, said the exportable variant should be developed by next year, and that the company is in talks with the Australian government to become the system’s first export customer.
The programme started as an R&D programme in 2004, and has since been used in several US Army Programmes.
