services. The segment consists of five business areas: Intelligence, Surveillance, & Reconnaissance Systems;
Land & Self Protection Systems; Naval & Marine Systems; Navigation Systems; and Targeting Systems.
Intelligence, Surveillance & Reconnaissance (ISR) Systems – delivers products and services for space satellite
applications, airborne and ground based surveillance, multi-sensor processing and analysis to provide battlespace
awareness, missile defense, and command and control. The division also develops advanced space-based radar and
electro-optical early warning and surveillance systems for strategic, tactical, and weather operations along with
systems for enhancing the discovery, sharing, and exploitation of ISR data. Key products include the Space Based
Infrared System (SBIRS), Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP), Defense Support Program (DSP),
ground processing, exploitation and dissemination systems, the TPS-78/703 family of ground based surveillance
radars, and the Multi-role Electronically Scanned Array (MESA) radar.
Land & Self Protection Systems – delivers products, systems, and services that support ground-based, helicopter and
fixed wing platforms (manned and unmanned) with sensor and protection systems. These systems perform threat
detection and countermeasures that defeat infrared and radio frequency (RF) guided missile and tracking systems.
The division also provides integrated electronic warfare capability, communications, and intelligence systems;
unattended ground sensors; automatic test equipment; and advanced threat simulators. Key programs include the
U.S. Marine Corps Ground/Air Task Oriented Radar (G/ATOR) multi-mission radar; the Large Aircraft
Infrared Countermeasures (LAIRCM) system for the U.S. Air Force, U.S. Navy, and strategic international and
NATO allies; the AN/ALQ-131(V) electronic countermeasures pods; the LR-100 high-performance radar
warning receiver (RWR)/electronic support measures (ESM)/electronic intelligence (ELINT) receiver system;
the U.S. Army’s STARLite synthetic aperture radar for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs); the U.S. Army
Vehicle Intercom Systems (VIC 3 and VIC-5); the U.S. Army Next Generation Automated Test System
(NGATS); the U.S. Air Force Joint Threat Emitter (JTE) training range system; and the Vehicle and Dismount
Exploitation Radar (VADER) system that enables UAVs to track individual persons or vehicles.
Naval & Marine Systems – delivers products and services to defense, civil, and commercial markets supporting
smart navigation, shipboard radar surveillance, ship control, machinery control, integrated combat management
systems for naval surface ships, high-resolution undersea sensors (for mine hunting, situational awareness, and
other applications), unmanned marine vehicles, shipboard missile and encapsulated payload launch systems,
propulsion and power generation systems, and nuclear reactor instrumentation and control. Key products include
integrated bridge and navigation systems, voyage management system, integrated platform management systems,
integrated combat Management System, AN/WSN 7 Gyro Navigator, anti-ship missile defense and surveillance
radars (Cobra Judy, AN/SPQ 9B, AN/SPS 74), and propulsion equipment and missile launch systems for the
Virginia-class submarines.
Navigation Systems – delivers products and services to defense, civil, and commercial markets supporting situational
awareness, inertial navigation in all domains (air, land, sea, and space), embedded Global Positioning Systems,
Identification Friend or Foe (IFF) systems, acoustic sensors, cockpit video monitors, mission computing, and
integrated avionics and electronics systems. Key products include the Integrated Avionics System, the
AN/TYQ-23 Aircraft Command and Control System, Fiber Optic Acoustic Sensors, and a robust portfolio of
inertial sensors and navigation systems.
Targeting Systems – delivers products and services supporting airborne combat avionics (fire control radars, multi-
function apertures and pods), airborne electro-optical/infrared targeting systems, and laser/electro-optical systems
including hand-held, tripod-mounted, and ground or air vehicle mounted systems. Key products include fire
control radars for the B-1B, F-16 (worldwide), F-22 U.S. Air Force, and F-35; the AN/APN 241 navigation/
weather radar; the AN/AAQ 28(V) LITENING family of targeting pods; Distributed Aperture EO/IR systems;
and the Lightweight Laser Designator Rangefinder (LLDR).
In addition to the product and service lines discussed above, the Electronic Systems segment includes the
Advanced Concepts & Technologies Division (AC&TD), an organization that develops next-generation systems,
technologies, and architectures to position the segment in key developing markets. AC&TD focuses on
