HERNDON, Va., Aug. 27 (UPI) -- Northrop Grumman Corp. Friday formally opened its new infrared countermeasures sustainment center in Warner Robins, Ga.
The sustainment center repairs IRCM equipment for the U.S. Air Force's large aircraft infrared countermeasures and U.S. Special Operations Command's directed energy infrared countermeasures.
The sustainment center repair team includes Northrop Grumman; SELEX Galileo Ltd., Edinburgh, Scotland; AAR Corp, Wood Dale, Ill.; and Robins Air Force Base's Aerospace Sustainment Directorate.
"Today's ribbon cutting is an example of our commitment to provide the warfighter with an innovative solution to sustain this critical aircraft defensive system," said Thomas E. Vice, corporate vice president and president of Northrop Grumman Technical Services. "This facility also benefits our customers by driving down the cost and providing high-quality, affordable IRCM services."
"The move from Hurlburt Field to Warner Robins was seamless to our warfighting customers and will allow for increased system availability today with growth opportunities for the future as fielding of the system continues to expand," said Carl Smith, vice president of Infrared Countermeasures programs for Northrop Grumman's Land and Self Protection Systems Division.
