Sighting devices for the U.S. Marine Corps

Northrop Grumman Corporation will deliver the improved containers with sighting devices (very close to the sights itself) to the Aviation of the United States Marine Corps.
Litening containers will be installed on the electronic warfare airplanes EA-6B Prowler, which are adopted in the American Aviation. New equipment will allow to use Prowlers as high-accuracy weapon carriers.
At present time, Litening containers are adopted by the different types of airplanes in United States Air force and U.S. Navy. First, they were used in 1999 during the NATO operations against Yugoslavia
The next version of the Sighting container is to come out in 2008. Equipment, installed in the container will allow airplanes to act in Battlespace, exchanging the information about goals in real time operation mode.
