RESTON, Va., Nov. 19 (UPI) -- Northrop Grumman has received a task order to support the U.S. Defense Department early-intercept ballistic missile defense program.
U.S. company Northrop Grumman was awarded the contract to provide the Missile Defense Agency with support for demonstration experiments designed to assess potential sensor technologies for early interception of missile threats.
Officials say Northrop Grumman will be expected to design and develop an experimental command and control architecture that will enable an evaluation of sensors for countering medium and intermediate-range ballistic missile threats.
"For the company and our customer, this initiative leverages Northrop Grumman's legacy Kinetic Energy Interceptors and command, control, battle management and communications expertise and technology to advance a critical and promising capability," Karen Williams, Northrop Grumman Information Systems vice president for Air and Missile Defense Systems, said in a statement.
"For the taxpayer, early intercept ensures previous investments in Kinetic Energy Interceptors will be applied judiciously to various aspects of the missile defense system to improve the ability to defeat threats to our nation."
