Northrop Grumman’s first Multi-role Electronically Scanned Array (MESA) sensor was successfully installed on an E-7 Wedgetail Mk1 Airborne Early Warning & Control (AEW&C) aircraft for the UK’s Royal Air Force.
Northrop Grumman and the US Air Force have signed an industry-first data rights agreement, opening B-21 data access and collaboration across the programme, including the launch of a digital twin shared environment.
The B-21 Raider stealth bomber will be finally unveiled to the public later this year, a US senator has said following a classified visit to the programme production facility.
