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.
Air Force depots are not typically meant for quick repair jobs, but during Operation Epic Fury, the service moved some of its stateside heavy maintenance capability forward to fix battle-damaged aircraft closer to the fight.
