Northrop Gets Security Contract for SWA: Northrop Grumman has received a follow-on contract to continue providing integrated security services for US Air Force bases in Southwest Asia. Northrop says the contract is worth up to $80 million over three years and will cover the surveying, support staff, and installation of systems at bases in the US Central Command Air Forces area of responsibility.
The Air Force has finished modifying and testing the new VC-25B Bridge aircraft that will serve as a temporary Air Force One, the service announced May 1. All that’s left now is to finish painting the jet before it starts flying this summer.
