Northrop Grumman Corporation (NYSE:NOC) has been awarded a
follow-on performance-based logistics contract to provide
logistics, material and technical support for the AN/ASN-139
Carrier Aircraft Inertial Navigation System (CAINS II) installed on
various U.S. Navy and foreign aircraft.
The U.S. Naval Supply Systems Command granted the five-year,
firm-fixed-price contract, which has a total value of $13.2
million, to Northrop Grumman. Under the contract, Northrop Grumman
is supplying material- and configuration-management services for
the AN/ASN-139 CAINS II, which is used on the C-2A, E-2C, F/A-18,
S-3 and AV-8B aircraft.
"Our excellent performance during the previous five-year,
performance-based logistics contract for the AN/ASN-139 helped us
to secure this latest award," said Gorik Hossepian, vice president
of Northrop Grumman's Navigation and Positioning Systems business
unit. "Our wide scope of support, including total inventory control
for CAINS II, will help ensure that the product continues to meet
the availability requirements and high quality standards of the
Navy."
The AN/ASN-139, which is also known as the LN-92, is a ring
laser gyro strapdown inertial navigation system that provides
better than one nautical mile per hour navigation performance. It
was designed for carrier-based aircraft to offer low life-cycle and
acquisition costs, low maintenance and calibration needs, and high
reliability.
