Delivery Order FA821018D0001-FA821020F0011

The U.S. Air Force Materiel Command awarded a $4.22 million firm fixed-price delivery order to Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation for logistics support of the Joint Threat Emitter (JTE) system destined for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The contract, which ran from September 22, 2020, through September 21, 2021, was performed at Northrop Grumman's facility in Buffalo, New York, and was not set aside for any specific business category. Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation, a subsidiary of the larger Northrop Grumman Corporation, brings substantial expertise in electronic warfare systems, threat simulation, and avionics sustainment—core competencies directly applicable to maintaining and supporting advanced threat emitter capabilities.

The Joint Threat Emitter is a sophisticated electronic warfare training and testing system used for simulating air defense threats. This delivery order represents part of the U.S. government's broader international defense cooperation efforts with Saudi Arabia, leveraging Northrop Grumman's established track record in providing repair, maintenance, and technical support for complex electronic warfare platforms. The award reflects Northrop Grumman's competitive position as a large prime contractor across multiple Air Force programs, including its substantial Indefinite Delivery Vehicle contracts for electronic warfare engineering services and threat simulator sustainment that collectively represent hundreds of millions of dollars in potential value.
