Northrop Grumman receives three-year U.S. Navy production contract for AN/WSN-12 navigation processors

Northrop Grumman received a three-year low-rate initial production award for AN/WSN-12 Navigation Processor Modules supporting the US Navy's transition to digital navigation. The processor integrates with Northrop's Inertial Sensor Module to process and distribute continuously available navigation information to combat systems, weapons and mission-planning tools. AN/WSN-12 succeeds the fleet's AN/WSN-7 equipment and is designed for installation across multiple Navy surface-ship platforms. Announced on November 2, the award continues production and integration of the processor component, while no contract value, module quantity or ship-by-ship installation schedule was disclosed in the company announcement.
