The U.S. Air Force has awarded Northrop Grumman Corporation
(NYSE:NOC) a contract to sustain and modify a worldwide network of
ground-based radars deemed critical to the success of its missile

The competitively awarded Sustainment and Modification of Radar
Sensors (SMORS) indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (IDIQ)
contract has a seven-year period of performance and value of up to
$866 million.
“Our work on SMORS will uphold and enhance the Air Force’s

said Joseph J. Ensor, vice president and general manager, space and
intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance systems division,
Northrop Grumman.
Through SMORS, Northrop Grumman will ensure the high
availability of ground-based radar systems for Air Force Space

(BMEWS), Precision Acquisition Vehicle Entry Phased Array Warning
System (PAVE PAWS), and Perimeter Acquisition Radar Attack
Characterization System (PARCS) radars, as well as associated
support systems.
“This win reflects the Air Force’s ongoing trust in Northrop
Grumman’s sustainment, engineering and radar expertise, as well as
our deep commitment to the success of this mission,” said Ensor.
“We are honored that the Air Force has chosen us to support these
unblinking eyes for U.S. forces on a modern threat environment that
extends into space.”
