Northrop Grumman, a Virginia-based company, specializing in defense and aerospace technologies, is reportedly making an M230 chain gun known as the Sky Viper. Moreover, it is also in the process of developing the so-called suicide drone, a new loitering munition.
These high-tech defense technologies were created in conjunction with the Future Vertical Lift effort (FVL) of the Army, which aims to produce the most modern aircraft equipment to replace the old helicopters.
