Northrop Grumman Secures $1.4 Billion in Contracts to Modernize Global Air and Missile Defense
February 17, 2025 | Northrop GrummanEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Northrop Grumman Corporation secures two significant contracts totaling $1.4 billion to advance air and missile defense capabilities for the U.S. Army and Poland. These awards reinforce Northrop Grumman’s position as a leader in advanced integrated battle management solutions, driving innovation through artificial intelligence and model-based systems engineering to strengthen global security.
The U.S. Army’s Aviation Missile Technology Consortium awarded Northrop Grumman a $481 million, five-year contract to expand software development for the Integrated Battle Command System (IBCS). This includes $347.6 million dedicated to Poland’s defense initiatives and $133.7 million for the U.S. military and the Guam Defense System. Under this award, Northrop Grumman will lead collaborative efforts with specialists in artificial intelligence (AI) and model-based systems engineering to boost the software development capacity of IBCS, and will integrate Polish sensors and the United Kingdom’s Common Anti-Air Modular Missile system (CAMM).
Under a second contract, valued at $899.6 million, Northrop Grumman will deliver IBCS as the single command and control system for Poland’s WISŁA medium-range and NAREW short-range air defense programs.

Expert:
Kenn Todorov, vice president and general manager, global battle management and readiness, Northrop Grumman: “Northrop Grumman continues to support the U.S. Army’s interoperability vision for a single integrated air picture to modernize air and missile defense through innovative development and deployment of IBCS software and hardware. Expanding IBCS capabilities will keep the U.S. Army and U.S. allies, such as Poland, ahead of evolving threats and capabilities, giving warfighters more decision time to save lives.”
