Northrop Grumman Receives $697M Navy Contract

The Defense Department on Wednesday announced the awarding of a $697 million contract to Virginia-based defense giant Northrop Grumman to upgrade systems on electronic warfare aircraft.

The contractor will update system configuration sets, airborne electronic attack systems, and electronic warfare systems for the EA-18G Growler and provide final upgrades to the EA-6B Prowler for the Navy as well as the Australian government, the Pentagon said in a release.

Both aircraft provide tactical jamming capabilities to the U.S. military and its allies. Northrop Grumman said the EA-6B was upgraded four times since its debut in 1972, while the Boeing-built EA-18G remains in production today.

The contract was awarded on an indefinite delivery and quantity basis. Half of the work will be conducted at Point Mugu, Calif., with 29% in Baltimore, 20% in Bethpage, N.Y., and 1% in Rolling Meadows, Ill.
