Teen solves centuries-old math problem
TOKYO, Feb. 3 (UPI) -- Laser mine detection systems for helicopters have been ordered from Northrop Grumman for Japan's maritime military.
Northrop said order for four Airborne Laser Mine Detection Systems is the first direct commercial sale of the product to a foreign navy but gave no details as to its monetary value.
The ALMDS is laser-based and uses streak tube imaging light detection and ranging to detect mines that are near the surface of the ocean.
"The addition of ALMDS to the Japan (military) mine countermeasures suite of solutions provides them with significantly enhanced mine detection capability … " said Pat McMahon, sector vice president and general manager, Military Aircraft Systems of Northrop Grumman Aerospace Systems.
"The installation of this capability will also improve the exchange of information between the U.S. Navy and JMSDF during allied operations."
Delivery and installation of the systems for Japan will be made in conjunction with Kawasaki Heavy Industries Ltd. and Fujitsu Limited.
