TEXAS-BASED EFW, a subsidiary of Israeli company Elbit, has been selected by Northrop Grumman to join its team bidding for a US Air Force contract to upgrade 425 T-38 Talon II advanced trainers.

EFW will provide the core avionics package under the agreement, which has yet to be finally defined. Earlier in August, Northrop Grumman also selected Arlington-based Hughes Training, to join its team and develop T-38 aircrew training devices and provide support for new and existing USAF training devices.
