The U.S. Navy and Northrop Grumman Corporation have installed Consolidated Afloat Networks and Enterprise Services (CANES) on the Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer USS McCampbell. The installation was completed during the ship's approximate five-month scheduled maintenance at U.S. Fleet Activities Yokosuka, Japan. Prior to installation, Northrop Grumman produced, integrated and tested the CANES system and delivered it for acceptance to the Tactical Networks Program Office, Program Executive Office of Command, Control, Communications, Computers and Intelligence (C4I).

Northrop Grumman Corporation announced it will submit a bid for the U.S. Navy Consolidated Afloat Network and Enterprise Services (CANES) full deployment contract. "The CANES program is critical to modernizing the Navy afloat network for enhanced security, affordability and delivering relevant capabilities to the warfighter," said Mike Twyman, vice president and general manager of the Defense Systems division of Northrop Grumman Information Systems. "With our experience on the development and limited deployment phase, we and our team members are confident we will offer a solution to best achieve the Navy's mission and objectives." Twyman added, "We stand ready to produce and help accelerate the delivery of CANES to the fleet." www.northropgrumman.com
