EID to unveil new vehicle communication system at DSEI
The Portuguese company’s naval communications system is in service across more than a dozen countries. It has turned to its home nation for support in developing a new vehicle based C2 system.
Northrop Grumman has announced successful recent ground and flight demonstrations of an advanced Northrop Grumman wideband AESA radar connected to a Boeing open mission systems- (OMS-) compliant mission computer.
After integrating with the Boeing mission computing environment, the AESA sensor was instructed to focus on specific targets, capture and manage data, and communicate the information back to the mission computing system, which was displayed in real time on an operator workstation.
Based on open architecture design, OMS allows customers to rapidly add new or improved capabilities, regardless of supplier, at a reduced cost.
Northrop Grumman stated on 9 November that the joint tests with Boeing ‘demonstrated a key step in continuing the validation and integration of OMS-compliant systems and the ability to successfully transfer relevant active-passive kill chain data’.
In this context, Northrop Grumman envisages further opportunities to harness OMS, for instance in Joint All-Domain Command and Control (JADC2), EW or ISR.
