* The U.S. Air Force awarded Northrop Grumman the Weather Agency
Systems Engineering, Management and Sustainment II contract to
increase effectiveness, reliability, and performance, while
reducing total cost of ownership for a variety of classified and
unclassified Air Force weather systems. The $239 million cost plus
award fee contract includes a one-year base and four option years.
* A large European postal customer awarded Solystic, a French
subsidiary of Northrop Grumman, a $100 million firm fixed price
contract to provide compact sequence sorters. The contract is for
an initial order of 400 letter sequencing machines with options
for an additional 400 machines.
* MBDA Italia selected Northrop Grumman to provide the navigation and
localization systems within the design and development phase for
NATO's Medium Extended Air Defense System (MEADS) program intended
to replace Hawk and Patriot systems worldwide.
Wonder why we are using a military contractor to supply sorting machines,reminds me of the the plot of the Terminator films!
