The Ararat headquartered company is now one of only three companies globally certified to this level of manufacturing, positioning AME Systems as a potential supplier of further technology to Northrop Grumman and the broader Australian defence industry.
Northrop Grumman Australia chief executive Chris Deeble said the partnership ensures both companies are well-positioned in the current market.
"AME joins a growing number of Australian companies supplying components for the Triton system and we look forward to delivering the first Australian Triton, built with Australian-made components, in 2023."
The harnesses will be used in the production of both Royal Australian Air Force and U.S. Navy Tritons.
