Northrop Grumman's aerospace systems business has secured a $37.7M contract to provide spare parts for RQ-4 Global Hawk unmanned aircraft systems to the government of Japan.
The company will also support tasks related to the execution and management of the Japan Global Hawk program and conduct system engineering activities as part of the firm-fixed-price contract, the Department of Defense said Tuesday.
Contract work is slated to run through June 30, 2023, and will occur in San Diego, California.
The Air Force employed a sole-source procurement process for the contract and obligated $36.7M from foreign military sales funds.
Global Hawk is built to perform intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance missions and uses various sensor systems to deliver persistent near-real-time coverage to warfighters.
