The two events demonstrated the ability of Northrop Grumman in advancing the technologies with its LVC experimentation, integration and operations suite (LEXIOS).
Northrop Grumman Secure Network Operations director Martin Amen said: “Our LVC solution highlights the value of Northrop Grumman to our US and international customers and is tremendous for military training transformation.
“We are at the leading edge of combining tactical simulator training with a live tactical event. When we started, LVC was seen as an adjunct capability. However, today LVC is an integrated depended-upon training element.”
Since 2015, Northrop’s LEXIOS and other solutions have been used to integrate virtual cockpits, constructive (computer-generated) aircraft and weapons, and live training exercises on the Joint Pacific Alaska Range Complex (JPARC) range.
