Northrop Grumman to provide BAMS UAV with autonomous capability to sense and avoid other aircraft
Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) designers at the Northrop Grumman Corp. Aerospace Systems sector in Bethpage, N.Y., will enable the U.S. Navy Broad Area Maritime Surveillance (BAMS) UAV to autonomously sense and avoid other nearby aircraft to maintain safe separation and avoid mid-air collisions under terms of a $25.6 million contract announced Friday.
UAV experts at the Northrop Grumman Aerospace sector's Battle Management & Engagement Systems Division will design and develop the UAV sense and avoid capability for BAMS in support of the Navy and U.S. Air Force.
