The U.S. Department of Defense has increased the firm-fixed-price IDIQ contract with Northrop Grumman by $34,388,301, raising the ceiling for component deliveries for military helicopters. Additional Link-16 A and B kits for the UH-1Y and AH-1Z models were ordered, along with spare parts and accompanying services such as systems engineering, program management and logistics support. Work will be performed at multiple U.S. locations and is expected to be completed by March 2027. At the time of the modification no funds were obligated; funds will be released when individual orders are issued. » Więcej na de.investing.com

Northrop Grumman and the US Air Force completed the vertical assembly of an inert Sentinel intercontinental missile at Vandenberg Space Force Base, validating procedures for transport, mobile cranes and interface checks. The four‑month exercise, called "Pathfinder," included assembly and disassembly of all stages and components; the first critical design review for the flight test was passed jointly with the 719th Test Squadron. A flight test is planned for 2027, with operational readiness of the missiles expected in the early 2030s; Northrop Grumman leads the program team and says it employs more than 10,000 people on the Sentinel project. » Więcej na de.investing.com

SandboxAQ has successfully integrated and tested its magnetic navigation system AQNav on Northrop Grumman’s Lumberjack one-way attack platform. The test combined, for the first time, a MagNav system with a visual navigation system on an expendable platform and demonstrated satellite-independent positioning. The hardware-agnostic software processes sensor data in real time, runs on existing onboard computing infrastructure, and can be quickly integrated via open interfaces. AQNav has been flight-tested with aviation partners since 2023 and is part of a program to trial quantum sensing for military autonomous systems. » Więcej na de.investing.com
