Northrop Grumman has delivered two tactical unmanned air vehicle radars (TUAVRs) to the US Army for demonstration flights planned in August at Fort Huachuca, Arizona. Installed in a Hunter surrogate UAV, the TUAVR will provide both synthetic-aperture radar and moving-target indication imagery via datalink. The TUAVR is designed for the US Army's AAI Shadow 200 tactical UAV.

Firestar Systems is seeing strong interest from developing markets for its range of unmanned air vehicles for both intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR), and strike missions.
Northrop Grumman continues to chase international sales opportunities for its E-2D Advanced Hawkeye and MQ-4C Triton maritime surveillance aircraft, as it simultaneously introduces upgrades to both platforms.
Amid steady demand for existing propulsion systems, the defence unit of GE Aerospace is targeting development efforts on a series of next-generation technologies, including high-powered adaptive engines and small, low-cost solutions for uncrewed fighter jets.
