Northrop to Develop Ship Warning System

Northrop Grumman Corp. said Thursday it will develop an electro-optic based system intended to warn surface vessels and aircraft that are violating ship protection zones of Navy and Coast Guard vessels at anchor or in port.

The development of the Detection and Unambiguous Warning System will use Northrop Grumman’s Venom system, a version of the company’s lightweight laser designator rangefinder.
