The U.S. Army has selected Falls Church, VA-based Northrop Grumman Corporation as one of multiple companies competing for task orders issued under R4, an indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract with a ceiling of $982 million, the company announced March 20.
The contract will
enable the Army to procure an entire range of cyber electromagnetic activities
(CEMA) aimed at advancing the force’s lethality in non-kinetic engagements
across warfare domains.
“Northrop Grumman
is proud to be selected by the U.S. Army to deliver world class cyber and
electronic warfare capabilities to the nation’s warfighters,” said Ginger Wierzbanowski,
vice president, cyber and intelligence mission solutions, Northrop Grumman
Mission Systems. “Our work on R4 will help ensure our Army forces can rapidly
identify, develop and leverage the full range of CEMA effects necessary to
deter, deny and prevail on the battlefield.”
To expand the
Army’s non-kinetic arsenal, the contract will support cyber and electronic
warfare research and technology development, studies and analyses, integration
support, laboratory demonstrations, integrated systems development, testing,
performance verification, fabrication, logistics, technical support services
and cyber security.
“The need to improve our warfighters’ ability to compete on an integrated battlefield, especially prior to traditional armed conflict, cannot be overstated,” said Wierzbanowski. “We look forward to collaborating with the Army on this important strategic effort.”
