The Air Force awarded a $17 million contract to Northrop Grumman to continue radar development for the Global Hawk UAV program. The company will provide updates to the system requirements, delivery of logistics/technical manual source data, delivery of an Electronic Target Simulator/Radar Range Repeater Support Vehicle, and management support for engineering—by October 2008.
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.
