The conference, themed “Alliance Against Terrorism, Strategies and Capabilities,” will feature a range of command, control, communications, computers and intelligence platforms designed for counterterrorism missions, Northrop said Sunday.
The event will also highlight international partnerships, technology transfer programs and C2 expertise localization efforts that align with Saudi Vision 2030.
