The Air Force awarded a $17 million contract to Northrop Grumman to continue radar development for the Global Hawk UAV program. The company will provide updates to the system requirements, delivery of logistics/technical manual source data, delivery of an Electronic Target Simulator/Radar Range Repeater Support Vehicle, and management support for engineering—by October 2008.
The Space Development Agency says it’s on track to issue its next batch of missile warning and tracking satellite contracts this month after those awards were delayed by the Pentagon’s decision to divert funds from the agency to pay troops during this fall’s prolonged government shutdown.
