Northrop Grumman’s mobile ground-based solutions to get any at data any time for US Navy and USMC missions.

Northrop Grumman continues to be at the forefront of mobile ground station technology, as evidenced by its recent contract award for the Maritime Targeting Cell – Expeditionary (MTC-X) program. This initiative aligns with the U.S. Department of Defense's Joint All-Domain Command and Control (JADC2) mission, which aims to facilitate multi-domain operations by supplying crucial data to frontline personnel.

The MTC-X mobile prototype system represents a significant advancement in this endeavor. Its capabilities include delivering multi-domain data to forward-deployed units and individual warfighters operating far from established bases. This system achieves full integration by consolidating data from various assets into a single mobile platform, effectively streamlining sensor-to-shooter timelines. Additionally, it enhances the efficiency of long-range precision fires and allows for rapid assembly, enabling quick and agile maneuverability in conjunction with ground forces.

Pablo Pezzimenti, vice president, integrated national systems, Northrop Grumman: “We designed this innovative technology for warfighters in situations where mobility is crucial for mission execution. This platform provides the latest multi-domain data at their fingertips, allowing commanders to make the best decisions possible for any mission on land, air or sea.”

Details on MTC-X

The MTC-X mobile prototype development is a modification to an existing Maritime Targeting Cell – Afloat (MTC-A) program’s Indefinite Duration, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract. The mobile prototype supports the U.S. Marine Corps Force Design 2030 by delivering information that enables critical decision-making for mission-specific needs with resiliency.
