About this award
Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation Electronic Systems Division was awarded a $2.84M cost-plus-fixed-fee definitive contract by the Air Force Research Laboratory on June 16, 2020, for ATMS (Assured Trusted Microelectronics Solutions) delay locking application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) intellectual property blocks and locked electronics for assured design. The work was performed in Linthicum Heights, Maryland, with an ultimate completion date of March 17, 2023. This contract represents a child award under Northrop Grumman Corporation, a major aerospace and defense technology company, and aligns with the Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Research Laboratory's broader initiative to ensure legacy and future microelectronics remain sustainable, reliable, and procured without alterations while maintaining intellectual property protections across military system lifecycles.
The contract falls within the larger ATMS program solicitation, which sought proposals for assured and trusted microelectronics solutions with a total program budget of $299.95M distributed across multiple contracts ranging from $2M to $20M over 12-36 month periods. Northrop Grumman's award specifically addresses design assurance and fabrication solutions for assured microelectronics capabilities. The no-set-aside competitive award demonstrates the contractor's technical capabilities in microelectronics assurance, a critical capability area supporting Air Force needs for radiation-hardened electronics, field-programmable gate array assurance, and validation and verification of sensitive defense systems. Deliverables included monthly status reports and final technical reports within 90 days of contract completion.
