Northrop Grumman Systems Corp. in San Diego, CA received an $89.3 million cost-plus award-fee contract modification for the Multi-Platform Radar Technology Insertion Program, which includes the design, build, and test of a family of radars systems employed on the RQ-4 Global Hawk platform. The undefinitized contract action is for the radar integration into the Global Hawk system, which includes all air vehicles, ground stations and support segment modifications required to support full radar functionally.

Work will be complete in September 2009. The Headquarters Aeronautical Systems Center at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, OH issued the contract (F33657-01-C-4600/P00147).
