Northrop Grumman has received a three-year low-rate initial production award for AN/WSN-12 Navigation Processor Modules. The processors integrate with the system’s inertial sensor module and distribute navigation information to shipboard combat systems, weapons and mission-planning tools. The programme supports the transition from the AN/WSN-7 family.
Assessment: Navigation integrity underpins both safe manoeuvring and weapon employment. Production of the processor is one element of the upgrade; operational benefit depends on installation, interfaces, testing and maintenance across recipient platforms.
