Northrop Grumman’s Mobile Ground-Based Solutions To Get Any Data, Any Time, For Any US Navy, Marine Corps Mission
The mobile ground station solution advances the JADC2 mission, providing multi-domain data directly to the tactical edge
AURORA, Colo., January 17. Northrop Grumman Corporation continues to pioneer the latest mobile ground station technology for the frontline with its recently awarded Maritime Targeting Cell – Expeditionary (MTC-X) contract. This program supports the Department of Defense’s strategy for its Joint All-Domain Command and Control (JADC2) mission to conduct multi-domain operations by providing critical data to the frontline.
The MTC-X mobile prototype system will:
- Deliver multi-domain data for forward-deployed units and individual warfighters far from established bases;
- Fully integrate data from multiple assets into a single mobile system;
- Reduce sensor-to-shooter timelines and maximize the effectiveness of long-range precision fires; and
- Allow for rapid assembly for quick and agile maneuverability with ground forces.
Expert:
Pablo Pezzimenti, vice president, integrated national systems, Northrop Grumman: “We designed this innovative technology for warfighters in situations where mobility is crucial for mission execution. This platform provides the latest multi-domain data at their fingertips, allowing commanders to make the best decisions possible for any mission on land, air or sea.”
Details on MTC-X:
The MTC-X mobile prototype development is a modification to an existing Maritime Targeting Cell – Afloat (MTC-A) program’s Indefinite Duration, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract. The mobile prototype supports the U.S. Marine Corps Force Design 2030 by delivering information that enables critical decision-making for mission specific needs with resiliency.
