Northrop Awarded $92M to Equip Large US Military Aircraft With IR Countermeasures System

Northrop Grumman (NYSE: NOC) received a $92 million contract modification to integrate the Department of the Navy’s Large Aircraft Infrared Countermeasures system onto multiple aircraft platforms operated by four U.S. military branches.

The award covers the procurement of 78 DoN LAIRCM processors and 814 other weapon replaceable assemblies, the Department of Defense said Friday.

Under the modification, Northrop will engineer the system for aircraft at the U.S. Navy, Marine Corps, Army and the Air Force Special Operations Command.
