Northrop Grumman Focuses on Global ISR Capabilities at Aero India 2013

LONDON – Feb. 2, 2013 – Northrop Grumman Corporation (NYSE:NOC) will highlight its industry-leading range of capabilities in intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) including airborne early warning and control systems for maritime reconnaissance and unmanned aerial vehicles, at the Aero India 2013 exhibition and air show.

Aero India, organised by the Defence Exhibition Organisation, takes place at Air Force Station Yelahanka, Bengaluru, India, Feb. 6-10. The Northrop Grumman exhibit is at stand number E1.14 in exhibition hall E.

"ISR capability is critical to effective homeland security and our leadership in multiple-domain ISR strongly positions Northrop Grumman to help create solutions for India's defence modernisation," said Mary Petryszyn, vice president, International, Northrop Grumman Aerospace Systems. "We are excited to offer our core capabilities to advancing Indian naval, military and homeland security priorities."

The Northrop Grumman exhibit will showcase the company's world-leading capabilities in airborne early warning and control including the E-2D Advanced Hawkeye.

The E-2D Advanced Hawkeye programme couples a newly designed electronically scanned radar with a matching suite of sensors, avionics, processors, software and displays to provide the most technologically advanced command and control capability available worldwide. The AN/APY-9 radar, with a two-generation leap in capability, is the backbone of this aircraft and provides greater flexibility and significantly improved detection and tracking over all terrains. To date, Northrop Grumman has delivered nine E-2D Advanced Hawkeye aircraft to the U.S. Navy. The programme completed Initial Operational Test and Evaluation in 2012 and Initial Operational Capability in the U.S. Navy fleet is on schedule for 2015.

An E-2D Advanced Hawkeye crew workstation and flyable cockpit simulator will be included on the exhibit stand to demonstrate the benefits of the E-2D for military and civil applications. India is among the first countries for which the Advanced Hawkeye capability has been approved by the U.S. government.

The company's airborne surveillance capabilities will be highlighted with the MQ-4C Triton unmanned aircraft and the lighter-than-air Long Endurance Multi-Intelligence Vehicle (LEMV).

Triton is a maritime version of the combat-proven Global Hawk unmanned aircraft system. Developed for the U.S. Navy, Triton can fly missions for 24 hours at altitudes more than 10 miles, allowing the system to cover vast areas of ocean and coastal regions. The Navy developed its future concept for maritime patrol using Triton in conjunction with the P-8 Poseidon, a manned surveillance platform that has also been purchased by the Indian Navy. Northrop Grumman produces the AN/ALQ-240(V)1 Electronic Support Measures system, the early warning self-protection system, and the embedded global positioning and inertial navigation system for the P-8A.

Northrop Grumman is developing the LEMV long-endurance hybrid airship system for the U.S. Army. This system is designed to be optionally manned, providing the flexibility to operate with or without a crew onboard and offers persistent surveillance with reconfigurable payloads to meet emerging multimission needs. The first fight of the LEMV was successfully completed in August 2012.

Northrop Grumman is a leading global security company providing innovative systems, products and solutions in unmanned systems, cyber security, C4ISR, and logistics and modernization to government and commercial customers worldwide.

Hospitality sector ready for Aero India windfall

BANGALORE: Making hay while the sun shines bright on Aero India 2013. As the dates of the show draw close, the hospitality sector is set to rake it in.

Here's one example: the average room rate in five star/luxury hotels, which stands at Rs 9,500, has gone up to Rs 20,000-Rs 22,000 per day for the five days the city plays host to the premier event. It means luxury properties in the hospitality sector will make a whopping 2.5 times more business than they do otherwise. And if that's not all, some top hotels are insisting that guests book for five nights, even if they're staying only for a couple of nights.

According to market analysts, high-end hotels in Yeshwantpur, Rajajinagar and Malleswaram -- those closest to the venue -- were sold out first. Luxury hotels in the CBD were second in priority, given the distance people have to cover to reach Yelahanka Air Force Station.

"It's the overall demand. Given that this show happens once in two years, demand starts picking up 7-8 months in advance. Even three or four months ahead of the show, rooms in premier hotels are taken up by foreign internationals," said an insider from the hospitality sector. People who are here to forge billion-dollar deals don't really care that they have to shell out extra, and that's what this sector uses to its advantage.

Transporters join the race

Car rentals are also set to climb the demand ladder. With a dearth of high-end cars in the city, luxury sedans are being ferried in from neighbouring states. "We're sourcing them from Hyderabad and Chennai. As against Rs 4,500-5,000 per day for a Mercedes E-Class, the rental has gone up to Rs 15,000. For the S-Class Merc, the rental is up to Rs 36,000 from Rs 12,000 per day," said Kawaljit Singh Narula, assistant VP, Le Passage to India (LPTI), Bangalore.

Given that the show attracts 3,000-4,000 people a day, the demand for luxury cars goes up by leaps and bounds.

"Rates usually go up for these car categories, but generally, nobody compromises. Most foreign travellers book a couple of months in advance but are very particular about service standards -- that the car is what they want and that it ferries them to the destination on time," said Gaurav Aggarwal, CEO and founder of Savaari, an online car rental. Given the huge demand, they're exploring the possibility of getting high-end cars from Cochin.

SAAB eager to engage Indian markets despite MMRCA setback

The global aerospace and defence company SAAB had organised a unique contest during Aero-India 2011, which had allowed the winning contestant the privilege of co-piloting the Gripen, Sweden’s newest multi-role jet fighter.

Contestants were tested in various aerospace-related issues and had to qualify on a flight simulator. Shashank H R, a 20-year-old engineering student from Bangalore, had won the contest and co-piloted a Gripen captained by SAAB pilot Robin Norlander. At the time, SAAB had been hoping to win India’s multi-billion dollar Medium Multi-Role Combat Aircraft.

Director of SAAB India, Eddy le da Motte, had touted the contest as a means to win the hearts and minds of the public and the government. “It’s just not our style to fly celebrities; we wanted to fly Indian citizens and sell our fighter to the nation,” he said.

Although India rejected SAAB’s bid in favour of France’s Dassault Rafale fighter, SAAB continues to show interest in the Indian market. This year, the ninth edition of Aero-India, scheduled to take place between February 6 and 10, SAAB has announced its intention to bring a host of products, including the Gripen. “SAAB will participate in full strength at Aero-India 2013 being held at the Yelahanka Air Base, Bangalore,” a company spokesperson said.

The firm is expected to present a series of products covering land, air, naval and civil security system at the air show. “Aero-India 2013 will be marked with a series of interesting opportunities to get to know and engage with SAAB,” the company said.

Among other things, SAAB’s display will include the new man-portable air defence system, the RBS 70 NG VSHORAD, which can be used in all weather conditions. The company has also declared its intention to showcase the Bamse Automatic Command-to-Line-of-Sight missile system, which it claims is one of the few systems in the world that has been developed as a dedicated ground-based air-defence missile system. “With Bamse, you are protected against a wide variety of modern threats, including stealth and small targets,” the company said.

SAAB will also display other innovative weapons system such as the anti-shipping and anti-tank missile systems, besides other non-weapons technology such as Camosphere tents, a mobile camouflage system. Scale models of aircraft (including the Gripen) will also be present, in addition to systems displays and simulators for such things as tank crew training, heads-up displays and situational awareness terminals for naval vessels.

Bangalore: The C-17 Globemaster-III heavy-lift transport aircraft from aerospace giant Boeing, is expected to be a show-stopper at this year's Aero India. Thanks to all the done deals of Indian Air Force (IAF), which has reduced the number of videshi combat fighters at the show, Boeing’s mammoth beast might emerge as an eye-catching flying machine. The IAF will receive the first batch of five C-17 Globemaster-III planes this year, followed by another five in 2014 – as per a $4.1-billion deal, now in play. India will emerge as C-17’s largest international customer, when the last of the transport planes join the IAF fleet.
Boeing says that the C-17s will bring unmatched strategic airlift capability to India. “India’s strategic and tactical airlift capabilities for military and humanitarian airlift will be considerably strengthened with the induction of the C-17 into IAF’s fleet,” Dennis Swanson, Vice-President, International Business Development, Boeing Defence, Space and Security, India, tells Express.
The C-17 is equipped with an externally blown flap system that allows a steep low-speed final approach for routine short-field landings. A C-17 can take off and land on a 3,000-foot runway, including narrower ones. (Across the globe, the standard runway length is 9,000 feet. Bangalore airport runway is 10,200 feet.) It can also manoeuvre using a three-point star turn and its backing capability. This ability to back up allows it to operate on narrow taxiways and on congested ramps. With its full payload and an initial cruise altitude of 28,000 feet, the C-17 has an un-refueled range of approximately 2,400 nautical miles. The C-17 is also designed to airdrop 102 paratroopers and equipment.
“The C-17s also offers rapid response capability for relief missions anywhere in the world. One of the C-17’s most impressive capabilities is that it can land where other large air-lifters are unable to operate, including an unpaved airfield with no infrastructure. Once on the ground, the C-17 is extremely agile and requires minimal support. Unlike other large transport aircraft, it can turn around and park without assistance and does not have to kneel down for offloading. This saves considerable time when offloading the aircraft and returning it to service” Dennis said.
The C-17 requires a crew of only three – a pilot, co-pilot and loadmaster – reducing personnel requirements, risk exposure and long-term operating costs. It can carry a full array of wheeled vehicles in two side-by-side rows in its cargo compartment.
