Selex ES has exhibited a set of surveillance technologies built for a NATO program the alliance developed to help protect member countries.
Local government officials, Northrop Grumman delegates, representatives from Italy’s air force and members of NATO’s alliance ground surveillance management agency attended the presentation in Italian city Turin, Selex said Thursday.
NATO’s Alliance Ground Surveillance program is scheduled to kick off in 2017 at the Italian air force’s Sigonella base in Sicily.
The program is intended to perform surveillance missions using remotely piloted aircraft, sensors and ground stations.
Selex provides operational control center ground stations, ground stations and communications technology, ground segment and mission support facilities to the NATO AGS program, for which Northrop was named the prime contractor in 2012.
