US Air Force awards Northrop Grumman JSTARS contract
The US Air Force has awarded Northrop Grumman Corporation a 30-month, $540 million contract for total system support responsibility (TSSR) of the E-8C joint surveillance target attack radar system (Joint STARS) fleet. This covers TSSR period 11.5 to 13 which began May 1, 2011 and concludes on October 31, 2013.
“For over a decade, Northrop Grumman has been providing comprehensive and integrated performance-based logistics support to the 116th Air Control Wing, in the United States and at its forward operating locations, enabling top level performance of the Joint STARS weapon system,” said Dale Burton, Vice President of the intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance and battle management command and control business which leads the Joint STARS programme.
The 17-aircraft Joint STARS fleet is the only allweather, long-range, real-time, wide area surveillance and battle management and command and control weapons system in the world. Joint STARS offers battlefield commanders real-time situational information, while simultaneously transmitting target locations to aircraft and ground strike forces. Joint STARS is the only platform in the US arsenal that combines accurate wide-area moving target detection with synthetic aperture radar imagery to locate, classify and track ground targets in all-weather conditions from standoff distances.
