WASHINGTON — To avoid a gap in the schedule and performance until a follow-on contract is awarded, the Missile Defense Agency has issued a $25.7 million contract modification to Northrop Grumman Systems.
The contract is to manufacture and provide target systems for Intermediate Range Ballistic Missiles and Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles, including the necessary execution, analysis, services and support.
The Missile Defense Agency at Redstone Arsenal said the modification is required for the continuation of the current contract from December 2025 to September 2026, increasing its vale from $1.897 billion to $1.922 billion. Under this modification, this period will include the completion and execution of flight tests, planning and analysis for new test object development, and integration of the IRBM/ICBM targets and integrated logistics support.
The work will be performed in Chandler, Ariz.; and Redstone Arsenal from Jan. 1 to Sept. 30, 2026.
The Missile Defense Agency is the contracting activity.
