Northrop Grumman Awarded Engineering, Manufacturing and Development Contract for US Navy's Surface Electronic Warfare Improve...
29 Octobre 2015 - 6:32PM
Northrop Grumman Corporation (NYSE:NOC) has been awarded a $91.7
million engineering, manufacturing and development (EMD) contract
from the U.S. Navy to further mature system designs for the
AN/SLQ-32(V)7 (SEWIP B3) electronic warfare system. Under the
contract, Northrop Grumman will finalize integration modeling and
test plans, and produce two prototype models for laboratory and
field testing.
The contract award follows the successful completion of the
preliminary design review (PDR) for the electronic warfare
system.
SEWIP B3 will be integrated with other sensors and combat
management systems to create the AN/SLQ-32(V)7 Electronic Warfare
attack system. This generational leap in capability is the result
of an incremental series of upgrades which adds new technologies
and capabilities for early detection, signal analysis, threat
warning and protection from anti-ship missiles. The system enables
Navy warships to counter threats non-kinetically.
"We have kept pace with a challenging schedule since the
preliminary design award in February," said Todd Leavitt, vice
president, maritime systems, Northrop Grumman Electronic Systems.
"The success of the PDR and award of the EMD contract reflect the
strong partnership we have formed with the Navy to deliver this
urgently-needed capability to our nation's sailors."
Northrop Grumman is a leading global security company providing
