 Northrop Grumman has been awarded a $16 million contract from the U.S. Navy for production of five additional AN/UPX-24(V) interrogator sets for the U.S. Navy and the Australian Navy.

The AN/UPX-24(V) is a shipboard identification-friend-or-foe (IFF) processor system that is used to identify aircraft or ships equipped with an IFF transponder.

The system provides target data to the ship's command, control, communications, computer and intelligence (C4I) system and generates interrogation commands in response to requests for priority target identification.

The AN/UPX-24(V) accepts interrogation and control commands and provides target reports to a shipboard weapon system, such as Aegis or the Naval Tactical Data System.

"The AN/UPX-24(V) IFF interrogator set is a sophisticated air defense system that provides the fleet with a long range early warning system for target detection," said Ike Song, vice president of situational awareness systems at Northrop Grumman's Navigation Systems Division.

"The AN/UPX-24(V) protects sailors in the fleet by rapidly and accurately identifying an aircraft."
