[SatNews] Northrop Grumman Corporation plans to highlight a wide range of aircraft systems at the Australian International Air Show being held March 1 through 6 at Avalon near Geelong, Victoria.

The Northrop Grumman spotlights will include unmanned aircraft; intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR); airborne early warning and control systems; fire control radars and infrared countermeasures. Northrop Grumman's airborne surveillance capability will be highlighted with models of the broad area maritime surveillance unmanned aircraft system (BAMS UAS), the lighter than air long endurance multi-intelligence vehicle (LEMV) and Fire Scout, the vertical unmanned aircraft system (VUAS) multi-role UAV on display.
