Northrop Grumman Wins Air Force Contract

GAITHERSBURG, Md., Sept. 27/Satnews Daily/ — Northrop Grumman Corp. (NYSE:NOC) has been awarded a five-year, multi-million dollar contract by the U.S. Air Force to manufacture and integrate a voice, data and multiplexing communications infrastructure. The company received an initial equipment order for more than $18 million.

Northrop Grumman said the Theatre Deployable Communications (TDC) modules and kits program is a ground-to-ground communications infrastructure designed to transmit and receive voice, data and video communications securely, to or from wireless, satellite, or hard-wired sources.

Designed for deployed operations, the TDC improves interoperability, increases capacity and user connections, decreases logistical airlift and footprint requirements and provides common, fixed and deployed solutions. By combining different modules with certain tools in different kits, operators achieve variability in a mission-focused communications suite.

"TDC provides much-needed flexibility," said Asif Mossa, site director for the division's Denro Systems business unit. "The program allows the Air Force to tailor systems to specific needs and to transport the systems anywhere in the world for military contingencies."

Denro Systems is a component of Northrop Grumman's Baltimore-based Electronic Systems sector, a leader in the design, development, and manufacture of defense and commercial electronics and systems.
