Northrop Grumman Corp. (NOC) said that it will help the U.S. Missile Defense Agency integrate and demonstrate an early-intercept capability under a task order.
The company's initial effort includes planning demonstration experiments that will enable MDA to assess technologies to intercept a missile earlier in flight using current interceptor systems.
Under the contract, Northrop Grumman will conduct initial tasks to design and develop an experimental, plug-and-play battle management, command and control architecture.
Northrop Grumman said that its work is being funded by a three-month task order valued at $4.7 million issued under the indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity contract the company holds for the Joint National Integration Center Research and Development Contract.
