ADVANCED ELECTRONICS
Litton is a world leader in navigation, guidance and control systems in the air, at sea, in space and on the land. Its marine business pioneered the use of gyroscopes for navigation at sea a century ago. Today, Litton is breaking new ground by applying its expertise in ring laser and fiber optic gyroscopes to create the world's finest inertial navigation systems for military and commercial aircraft, spacecraft, helicopters, ships, missiles, torpedoes and land vehicles. Among the many other diverse offerings in Litton's Advanced Electronics Systems portfolio are voice control switches for air traffic controllers, satellite stabilization technology for NASA and commercial satellites, "heads-up" displays for fighter pilots and self-contained breathing devices for fire and rescue workers.

SHIP SYSTEMS
Litton is a world leader in the design, production and fleet support of surface combatant ships. The company is a pioneer in providing comprehensive and integrated support services for the life cycle of ships, from design to decommissioning. Litton has built virtually every type of non-nuclear ship for the U.S. Navy, U.S. Coast Guard, international navies and a range of maritime customers. Investments and contracts are being put in place to capitalize on the developing market for commercial tankers and cruise ships required by the Jones Act and Oil Pollution Act.
In FY2000, Ship Systems expanded its business model by acquiring Avondale at the beginning of the fiscal year and by augmenting its two shipyards, Ingalls and Avondale, with a new business called Litton Ship Systems Full Service Center. With this business in the portfolio, Ship Systems extends further into the maritime value chain with the capability to design, engineer, construct and provide full life-cycle support services to naval and commercial shipbuilding customers.
