Scots firm to develop anti-missile defence for US airliners
Selex Sensors & Airborne Systems, based in Edinburgh, is partnering Northrop Grumman to compete for a $10 billion U.S. govt. contract for a laser-based system for passenger planes.

Northrop Grumman contracted Selex SAS because the firm helped develop a missile defence system for U.K. military aircraft in the early 1990s.
