About this award
The U.S. Air Force awarded a $1.92M definitive contract to Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation for development and integration of the Universal Armament Interface (UAI), a standardized, configurable, data-driven weapons interface designed to enable weapons integration independent of operational flight program (OFP) cycles. The contract, awarded May 1, 2025, carries a cost-plus-fixed-fee pricing structure with performance scheduled through April 30, 2026, and will be executed at Northrop Grumman's West McLean, Virginia facility. No small business set-aside was applied to this procurement, reflecting full and open competition. Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation, a subsidiary of the larger Northrop Grumman Corporation, brings extensive experience in advanced defense systems integration and has previously delivered comparable avionics and weapons integration solutions across multiple Air Force programs.
This award supports the Air Force's objective of modernizing weapons integration capabilities by reducing dependencies on specific OFP release cycles, thereby accelerating the integration and deployment of new weapons systems across the fighter fleet. The UAI initiative aligns with broader Air Force modernization efforts to enhance aircraft flexibility and operational effectiveness through standardized interfaces. Northrop Grumman's involvement in this domain reflects its established role as a prime contractor for complex systems integration work, leveraging its expertise in electronic warfare systems, mission-critical software development, and tactical platform integration demonstrated through significant indefinite delivery vehicles such as the Combat Air Forces Distributed Mission Operations contract and the Rapid Sustainment Office Multi-Award Contract.
