Many work in its Aeronautical Systems unit, which oversees unmanned aircraft such as the U.S. Northrop Grumman has roughly 6,000 employees in the San Diego region. “The size of that pipe is just going to be so necessary as the amount of data shared in that JADC2 environment grows and grows,” said Reynolds, who is director of the Network Solutions business unit. He used the analogy of data traveling through a pipe, like water. Reynolds said Northrop Grumman is working with network technology that can transport information 300 times faster than it is transported today. Northrop Grumman provides the gateway systems and secure processing capabilities for the data tankers.Ī second radio-relay technology is BACN, Battlefield Airborne Communications Node, which has flown more than 200,000 combat hours. The tanker planes act as high-capacity radio relays, extending the coverage of such common military radios as Link-16 models. The “data tanker” system is at work in three theaters of operation today and has flown more than 72,000 combat hours, said Reynolds. Recently, the corporation has enabled Air Force tanker aircraft - specifically KC-135s and KC-46 models - serve as radio communications hubs.


Northrop Grumman makes communications, navigation and identification systems for advanced F-22 and F-35 fighter jets, which trade such information in a very secure manner. One foundation for the new division is a decades-long effort in creating software-defined radio. (Nasdaq: QCOM) has played a very big role in developing and commercializing 5G. 5G, which is now being adopted in civilian telecommunications, can send and receive data much faster than previous technology. That is the battlefield equivalent of the internet of things, a set of objects capable of remote control, and able to use the internet to report on conditions around themselves.Īrtificial intelligence, machine learning and fifth-generation (5G) radio technology are also part of the equation. A second goal is to make an “internet of military things” a reality, Paukstis said. The goal is to provide a decisive advantage over what the military calls its near peer threat, meaning countries such as China and Russia. “We’re bringing these mission system capabilities together in really purposeful way,” said Paukstis, who is vice president at the communication solutions business unit. The Networked Information Solutions Division will meld cyber-secure communications, networking, advanced processing, information assurance and other disruptive technologies. The work builds on a 60-year heritage of designing, developing and delivering end-to-end advanced networking capabilities for U.S. The corporation’s advanced radio system work takes place at two Northrop Grumman campuses: Rancho Carmel, near Rancho Bernardo in inland North County, and Spectrum Center in Kearny Mesa. “We’re enabling that integration by brining innovative capabilities and accelerated timelines.” “We hear a lot about integrating any sensor with any shooter across all domains,” said Northrop Grumman executive Jenna Paukstis. military’s goal with JADC2 is to connect any sensor with any shooter, no matter if it is Air Force, Army, Marine Corps, Navy or Space Force. The initials stand for Joint All Domain Command and Control. military achieve a goal it calls JADC2, said local Northrop Grumman executive Ian Reynolds. The Networked Information Solutions Division, established in February, positions the big Virginia-based corporation to better help the U.S. (NYSE: NOC) stood up a new division in San Diego this year, with a focus on advanced military radio communications.
