About this award

The Office of Naval Research awarded a $15.4 million definitive contract to Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation on July 10, 2022, for the development of the Multi-Beam Array for Cooperative Engagement (MACE), an advanced Active Electronic Steered Aperture (AESA) transceiver system designed for shipboard applications. This next-generation system will support cooperative engagement capabilities to enhance naval air defense operations. The contract, structured as cost-plus-fixed-fee and performed in Linthicum Heights, Maryland, carries an ultimate completion date of January 15, 2026, with no set-aside designation. Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation, a major defense contractor specializing in electronic warfare and radar systems, is well-positioned to deliver this sophisticated technology given its extensive portfolio of advanced aperture and transceiver systems for the Navy.

The contract effort includes two primary subcontractors supporting the development: Fiber Systems International, Inc. (doing business as Amphenol Fiber Systems International) awarded a June 2024 subcontract for raw materials processing, and Beehive Industries LLC awarded a February 2024 subcontract for human resources services. These subcontractors complement Northrop Grumman's core engineering and systems integration capabilities. The MACE program represents a critical modernization initiative within the Navy's air defense architecture, building upon the Cooperative Engagement Replacement EDBF System (CERES) framework to provide enhanced multi-beam radar functionality for improved fleet-wide situational awareness and threat engagement coordination.
