Northrop Grumman's Navigation Systems Division will provide the STE and training for U.S. Government technicians, subcontracting to Lockheed Martin Corporation (NYSE:LMT), prime contractor for the U.S. Navy's MH-60 Common Avionics Suite.

"Having the necessary test equipment on site will give the Navy greater flexibility in performing repairs and help minimize lifecycle support costs."
Northrop Grumman's Navigation Systems Division offers customized support solutions for current and legacy military and commercial systems, which includes their related test equipment, overhaul and repair, field engineering services, inventory and spares management, and technology refresh.
