upgraded with the new Integrated Avionics Suite, flew for the first time on Jan. 19 in Huntsville, Alabama, according to a release Monday from Northrop Grumman Corp. The base is home to the U.S. Army Aviation and Missile Life Cycle Management Command.

The utility rotorcraft is made by Lockheed Martin Corp.’s Sikorsky unit, but Northrop won a contract in 2014 to upgrade between 700 and 900 L models of the aircraft with the new cockpit design, which replaces older analogue gauges with digital electronic instrument displays. The technology is already included in UH-60M production models.

“This UH-60V first flight accomplishment reaffirms our open, safe and secure cockpit solutions that will enable the most advanced capabilities for warfighters,” Ike Song, vice president of mission solutions at Northrop, said in a statement.

The Falls Church, Virginia-based company won the Army deal over such competitors as Lockheed Martin, Elbit Systems and Rockwell Collins, according to

at the time.

The new system is nearly identical to the UH-60M interface, according to Northrop. The technology is designed to comply with the Federal Aviation Administration and European Aviation Safety Agency’s Global Air Traffic Management requirements for military and civilian airspace around the world, the company said.

The Army a decade ago began receiving UH-60M variants featuring the new digital cockpits. The M model is the most advanced variant of the helicopter and remains in production.

30 million for a trainer seems excessive. The T-38 would cost $US7 million in current currency (adjusted for inflation).

People have said that millions per T-38 were spent just to keep them flying and updated. However, the question is asked, how many more millions on top of the 30 million per aircraft will be spent to keep the new one flying and updated over the next 30 years?

After all the Yak-130 is around $US15 million (fly away), which sounds more reasonable for a trainer.

A Russian spy ship spotted about 70 miles off the coast of Delaware on Tuesday has begun "loitering" 30 miles from a US Navy submarine base in Connecticut, according to

.

The intelligence-gathering ship, the Viktor Leonov, can intercept intelligence from nearby transmitters with a variety of sensors, and it can also measure Navy sonar emissions.

"We are aware of the vessel's presence," Lt. Col. Valerie Henderson, a Defense Department spokeswoman, told Business Insider on Tuesday.

"It has not entered US territorial waters," she added. "We respect freedom of navigation exercised by all nations beyond the territorial sea of a coastal state consistent with international law."

US Navy spy ships conduct similar missions near Russia and in international waters around the globe, but usually in waters near US allies.

The timing of this incident coincides with a flurry of news coming out of Washington about
