The collaboration will integrate Northrop Grumman’s expertise in air and missile defence command-and-control systems with Marshall Land Systems’ containerised storage and shelter capabilities. This joint effort aims to deliver robust, flexible solutions that enhance operational effectiveness in the field.
“Northrop Grumman is modernizing air and missile defense around the globe with revolutionary command and control systems,” said Kenn Todorov, vice president and general manager, command and control & weapons integration at Northrop Grumman. “The collaboration with Marshall Land Systems highlights the power of industrial partnerships and will capitalize on our combined expertise to enhance operational efficiency, readiness and resilience.”
“This memorandum of understanding with Northrop Grumman opens the door for Marshall to build on its track record of delivering for the UK’s armed forces,” said Bob Baxter, Chief Growth Officer at Marshall. “Marshall is at its best when working alongside industry partners, and I am confident that this will be reflected in the exceptional engineering and production support that we will provide to complement Northrop Grumman’s world-leading air and missile defence technologies.”
Northrop Grumman’s Integrated Battle Command System (IBCS) plays a central role in this effort, offering a modular, scalable architecture that unifies systems across services and domains. IBCS enables sensor data fusion into a single, actionable picture of the battlespace, enhancing decision-making for warfighters in complex threat environments.
Already in production and fielded in Poland, IBCS is also planned for deployment in the defence of Guam under the U.S. Army’s modernisation programme. This capability supports joint and coalition, multi-domain operations, reinforcing both national and allied defence postures.
