The contract is the second four-year extension of the agreement
between the RAAF and Northrop Grumman. Under the terms of the
award, Northrop Grumman will continue to provide in-service support
for the RAAF's LITENING targeting pods and data links at RAAF Base
Williamtown and RAAF Base Tindal.
"This extension strengthens the Northrop Grumman-RAAF
partnership and our company's long-term commitment to the
Commonwealth," said Ian Irving, chief executive, Northrop Grumman
Australia. "In addition to the support award, several enhancements
have recently been authorized for the Hornet Target Designation
System to improve tactical effectiveness. These may reduce costs by
aligning the RAAF's pod configuration with that of U.S.
forces."

customers worldwide. The systems have accumulated more than 2
million operating hours.
