The U.S. Army selected Northrop Grumman Corporation of Falls Church, VA with the support of Sierra Nevada Corporation (SNC) of Sparks, NV as one of multiple companies qualified to compete for task orders under R4, an Indefinite-Delivery/Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) contract with a ceiling of $981,949,196, SNC announced May 30.
The contract will
allow the Army to procure an entire range of Cyber Electromagnetic Activities

electronic warfare and signals systems in non-kinetic engagements across
warfare domains.
“SNC is excited to
be partnered with Northrop Grumman to support the Army’s effort to equip the
warfighter with CEMA capabilities for the next-generation battlefield,” said
Tim Owings, executive vice president of SNC’s Integrated Mission Systems
business area.
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.
“SNC has a rich
history providing the U.S. Army with integrated capabilities to support the
warfighter. Our manned and unmanned platforms will continue to bring new
capabilities to the battlefield for years to come,” said Owings.
SNC’s IMS team

air- and ground-based ISR systems. IMS also specializes in aircraft platform
modification, integration and maintenance services; manned/unmanned systems;
