Northrop Grumman Corporation (NYSE: NOC) was awarded a contract by General Dynamics (NYSE: GD) Land Systems to develop the LRS-2000, a Rate Sensor Assembly for the Stabilized Commander's Weapon Station on the U.S. Army M1A1 Abrams tank. General Dynamics is developing the SCWS system for U.S. Army Tank and Automotive Command.
Based on Northrop Grumman's G-2000 dynamically-tuned gyro, the LRS-2000 RSA is a two-axis rate sensor developed to support targeting and stabilization applications, with a drift rate of less than one degree per hour. It functions as part of a larger system that provides added protection from enemy gunfire or improvised explosive devices for the urban warfighter by allowing soldiers to fire the tank's machine gun from inside the tank.
Northrop Grumman is expected to deliver the first production unit of the LRS-2000 RSA in June 2009.
Northrop Grumman Corporation provides products, services, and solutions in information and services, aerospace, electronics, and shipbuilding to the military, government, and commercial customers in the United States.
