BAE adds Northrop to its JLTV team

Northrop Grumman is now a part of the team building BAE systems joint light tactical vehicle (JLTV). The team comprised BAE Systems, Navistar Defense and Meritor Defense (formerly ArvinMeritor).

Northrop Grumman will serve as the command, control, communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (C4ISR) lead, responsible for the integration of command and control hardware and software, computers and communications equipment, sensors and sensor suites for intelligence gathering and force protection. By applying Northrop Grumman and BAE Systems’ substantial domain expertise, the team will develop a net-ready, open architecture system, allowing the warfighter to configure the JLTV platform rapidly and inexpensively for current and future mission needs.

Named Valanx, the JLTV is the most capable and survivable light armoured vehicle in existence. BAE Systems and Navistar engineered the Valanx to create a vehicle with unmatched payload, protection and performance.
