Northrop Grumman (NYSE: NOC) has secured a potential nine-year, $700 million contract to deliver an integrated cloud and sensor platform to the Defense Intelligence Agency.
The company said Wednesday it will use model-based systems engineering to consolidate DIA’s technical capabilities and apply digital engineering to enable operational efficiencies and help improve the agency’s collection, processing and analytics tools.
The single-award, dubbed Neptune Phoenix, encompasses life cycle management, prototyping, test and evaluation, deployment and data analysis for radio frequency and electro-optical sensor systems that provide intelligence support to warfighters on the field.
“We’re transforming the digital ecosystem for the intelligence community to streamline inputs and provide actionable information at the speed needed to outpace evolving threats,” said Jennifer Walsmith, vice president of cyber and information solutions at Northrop.
