Northrop Grumman receives two contracts totaling $1.4B

Northrop Grumman has received two air and missile defense contracts worth a combined $1.4 billion, the Falls Church-based Fortune 500 government contractor announced last week.

The contractor received two contracts from the U.S. Army and Poland. Under the $481 million, five-year contract from the Army’s Aviation Missile Technology Consortium, Northrop Grumman will expand software development for the Integrated Battle Command System, which integrates sensors and weapons into a single global air and missile defense network to provide real-time information.

The contract includes $347.6 million dedicated to Poland’s defense initiatives and $133.7 million for the U.S. military and the Guam Defense System. Northrop Grumman will lead collaborations with specialists in artificial intelligence and model-based systems engineering to boost the IBCS’ software development capacity. It will also integrate Polish sensors and the United Kingdom’s Common Anti-Air Modular Missile system.

Under the second contract, worth $899.6 million, the contractor will deliver IBCS as the single command and control system for Poland’s WISŁA medium-range and NAREW short-range air defense programs.

“Expanding IBCS capabilities will keep the U.S. Army and U.S. allies, such as Poland, ahead of evolving threats and capabilities, giving warfighters more decision time to save lives,” Kenn Todorov, Northrop Grumman’s vice president and general manager of global battle management and readiness, said in a statement.

Northrop Grumman delivered the first full set of major end items — the final combination of components and materials ready for end use, such as vehicles or aircraft — for the IBCS to the U.S. Army in 2024, which allowed for early fielding.

Northrop Grumman employs about 100,000 people and reported $41 billion in 2024 sales, up 4% from 2023. It ranked No. 382 on the 2024 Fortune Global 500. The company is building a $200 million-plus electronics facility in Waynesboro.
