BUFFALO, N.Y., Dec. 1, 2011. Northrop Grumman Corporation (NYSE:NOC) today announced the delivery of Combat Electromagnetic Environment Simulator (CEESIM) systems and a Signal Measurement System (SMS) to Aselsan, the Turkish high technology defense electronics company based in Ankara.

In three separate contract awards, Northrop Grumman was selected to provide a CEESIM, an SMS and a Pulseman Portable CEESIM Simulator to Aselsan's Radar, Electronic Warfare and Intelligence Systems Division to support various electronic warfare (EW)-related programs within Turkey. Aselsan provides EW equipment for use on ground-based, naval, fixed and rotary-wing platforms.
