Northrop Grumman Wins Modifications for ICBM-Related Contracts The U.S. defense contractor Northrop Grumman has won an Air Force contract modification worth more than $130 million to help sustain U.S. ICBM systems, the U.S. Defense Department announced yesterday (see GSN, Sept. 12, 2002). Under the contract, Northrop Grumman will provide a number of maintenance activities for the Minuteman and Peacekeeper ICBMs, including systems and sustaining engineering, testing, hardware and software contract modification and contract repair. The company has also been awarded a contract modification worth more than $7 million for the sixth option year of a 15-year contract for the lease and infrastructure payment for the ICBM prime team facility, according to the Pentagon. The prime team is required to be consolidated at one facility due to a need to vacate buildings at the Hill Air Force Base in Utah (U.S. Defense Department release, Sept. 25).
