ENGINEERING SERVICES: THE PURPOSE OF THIS TASK IS TO DEVELOP AND TAILOR NETWORK COMMUNICATION INFRASTRUCTURE TO DIVISIONAL SHORT RANGE AIR DEFENSE INITIATIVES TO DEFEAT LOW, SLOW, SMALL, UASS.

Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation was awarded a $22.4 million task order under the Defense Microelectronics Activity's Advanced Technology Support Program (ATSP) to develop and tailor network communication infrastructure for divisional short-range air defense systems designed to counter low-altitude, slow-moving, small unmanned aerial systems. This work falls under ATSP, a 10-year, $25.3 billion multiple-award contract vehicle that supports the Department of Defense's broader objective of ensuring military systems maintain current microelectronics and avoid obsolescence. The task order represents specialized engineering development to address emerging defense gaps in counter-UAS capability.
