About this award
The U.S. Air Force awarded a $14.379 billion definitive contract to Northrop Grumman Systems Corp for Ground-Based Strategic Deterrent (GBSD) Engineering and Manufacturing Development and Early Production and Deployment on September 8, 2020, with an ultimate completion date of March 10, 2029.
Place of performance is Roy, Utah. The contract covers engineering, manufacturing development, and early production and deployment of the LGM-35A Sentinel intercontinental ballistic missile system, which replaces the aging Minuteman III ICBM. Northrop Grumman Systems Corp is a child entity of Northrop Grumman Corporation. The contract carries cost-plus-incentive pricing and represents the cornerstone of the Air Force's strategic deterrent modernization.
The GBSD is a Major Defense Acquisition Program (MDAP) managed by Air Force Nuclear Weapons Center under Acquisition Category ID. The program encompasses a comprehensive modernization of U.S. nuclear deterrent infrastructure with performance extending through March 2029. Northrop Grumman leads a broad industrial base: major subcontractors include Lockheed Martin Corp (Mk21A reentry vehicle engineering and manufacturing development), The Boeing Company (nuclear deterrence sustainment and testing), General Dynamics Mission Systems (communications and electronics), Honeywell International (inertial navigation and guidance systems), Saft America (specialized batteries), Collins Aerospace Government Systems (avionics and communications equipment), L3 Technologies divisions (telemetry, communications, and RF products), and Rockwell Collins (mission-critical defense electronics). Additional teaming includes Metcut Research Associates (materials testing), Ducworks Inc. (precision machining), Green Hills Software (embedded software), Siemens entities (product lifecycle management and software), and numerous small business suppliers across precision manufacturing, electrical, electronics, software, and technical services domains. The subcontractor network reflects deep integration across the defense industrial base for integrated systems engineering, propulsion, guidance, ground control, test infrastructure, and component manufacturing supporting the strategic deterrent modernization effort.
