March 18, 2025 | Northrop GrummanEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Northrop Grumman Corporation was awarded a follow-on contract to help the U.S. Air Force connect airborne platforms with faster, secure communications solutions.
Northrop Grumman will deliver NG InSight™, a software-programmable, open systems compliant processor designed to keep warfighters connected and adaptable in rapidly changing mission environments.
Under this contract, the U.S. Air Force will continue to test and evaluate NG InSight™ capabilities for potentially supporting the future of the DAF Battle Network, the Department of the Air Force’s contribution to the Department of Defense’s Combined Joint All-Domain Command and Control initiative.
As a part of the contract award, Northrop Grumman will:
- Demonstrate how the NG InSight™ open architecture processor allows the integration of third-party technologies, ensuring future growth, sustainability and adaptability.
- Provide engineering support to connect the system to existing U.S. Air Force communications networks, ensuring feasibility, functionality and compatibility to enable timely data-sharing across domains.
Expert:
Jenna Paukstis, vice president and general manager, networked information solutions, Northrop Grumman: “Evolving threats create an ongoing need for secure and reliable communications to stay ahead of adversaries. NG InSight™ enables faster decision-making for any mission scenario while providing flexibility to ensure warfighters across the battlespace can share information quickly and securely.”
