, MELBOURNE: Northrop Grumman Corporation received notice February 23, 2007 from the U.S. Air Force of a decision to end the E-10A Multi-Sensor Command and Control Aircraft Weapon System Integration (WSI) program.
The E-10A WSI Technology Development Program has not been funded for fiscal 2008 and planning has begun for ending efforts following the initial design review being held this week. Subsequent closeout of any critical action items is scheduled to be completed by the end of May 2007.
The E-10A program was designed to integrate Northrop Grumman's Multi-Platform Radar Technology Insertion Program (MP-RTIP) Wide-Area Surveillance (WAS) sensor and Northrop Grumman's Battle Management Command and Control (BMC2) mission suite into an airborne system that provides a combination of cruise missile defense, ground moving target tracking, and dissemination of time-critical data.
