About this award
This definitive contract, awarded to Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation on May 16, 2018, provides for long-lead items supporting Low-Rate Initial Production (LRIP) 4 of the MQ-4C Triton Unmanned Aircraft System. The contract, valued at $378.6 million under a cost-no-fee arrangement, supports the Naval Air Systems Command's procurement of high-altitude, long-endurance maritime patrol, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) aircraft. The MQ-4C Triton is a Major Defense Acquisition Program managed by the U.S. Navy through the Major Capability Acquisition pathway and represents a significant investment in advanced unmanned systems for naval operations. The contract includes a modification that de-obligates funding from specific contract line items while adjusting associated cost ceilings. Work is being performed in San Diego, California, with an ultimate completion date of February 28, 2024.
The prime contractor, Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation's Aeronautics Systems Division, leads a substantial industrial team providing aircraft components, subsystems, and support equipment. Key subcontractors include L3 Technologies/L3Harris Technologies (communication systems), Curtiss-Wright Defense Solutions (airborne mission processors), Eaglepicher Technologies (batteries and power systems), and numerous specialized suppliers including Carlisle Interconnect Technologies, Hughes Circuits, and Area51 Electronics providing electronic components, cable assemblies, and mechanical/electrical equipment. Additional support comes from companies such as Verify Inc. for technical services, Enterprise Resource Services and other staffing firms for human resources support, and manufacturers of precision parts including Coast Precision Enterprises and Jamco Aerospace. This diverse supplier base reflects the complexity of integrating advanced unmanned aircraft systems while supporting the Navy's strategic maritime surveillance capabilities.
