About this award
Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation's Aeronautics Systems Division was awarded a cost-plus-fixed-fee definitive contract modification on December 23, 2016, by the Naval Air Systems Command to support engineering and software sustainment of the MQ-8 Fire Scout Unmanned Aircraft System. This modification deobligated $68,673.73 across three contract line items (CLINs 0110, 0111, and 0117) from the 2017-2019 MQ-8 Fire Scout sustainment contract. The contract, which has a ceiling value of approximately $77.98 million and an ultimate completion date of September 30, 2021, represents continued DoD investment in maintaining the Fire Scout rotorcraft-based intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance platform operated by the U.S. Navy. The modification was awarded without set-aside designation through open and full competition, reflecting Northrop Grumman's position as the primary system integrator for this Major Defense Acquisition Program managed under the Major Capability Acquisition pathway.
The contract's performance is based in San Diego, California, with Northrop Grumman establishing a robust supply chain including major subcontractors such as Bell Textron (providing specialized aviation components), GE Aviation Systems LLC (offering technical and avionics support), Cubic Defense Applications (supplying electronic components), Telephonics Corp (delivering communications equipment), and various smaller suppliers including Kearfott Corporation (navigation systems), Sechan Electronics (electronic systems), and specialized component manufacturers. This multi-tiered subcontractor network demonstrates the complexity of sustaining an advanced unmanned aircraft system, encompassing engineering services, software development, component procurement, and technical logistics support essential to maintaining operational readiness of the Fire Scout fleet across naval operations.
