Northrop Grumman Amherst Systems will benefit from a $28.2 million contract awarded to its parent company to provide electronic simulators to the European Aeronautic Defence and Space Co.

The Amherst location will build eight radio frequency simulators which will help the Airbus 400M transport aircraft, while still on the ground, safeguard itself against combat threats it might encounter during missions.
The simulators generate signals the aircraft might detect, such as antiaircraft radar, in the air so that its sensors can be programmed for those threats. When those threats appear during flights, the plane can then take the proper defensive measures.

The Airbus A400M is replacing aging fleets of C-130 Hercules and C-160 Transall air transport aircraft being used by air forces around the world.
Deliveries of the simulators are expected to start in 2010 and be completed in 2013 or 2014, said John Stanfill, president of Northrop Grumman Amherst Systems.
