The Defense Contract Management Agency has awarded Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation a $9.9 million contract to analyze, design, prototype, test, integrate, build, and deliver tailored M-LIDS Increment 2 interfaces, network communications kits, and upgrade kits for existing systems. This supports the U.S. Army's Mobile-Low, Slow, Small Unmanned Aircraft Integrated Defeat System (M-LIDS), a counter-unmanned aircraft system (C-UAS) mounted on M-ATV vehicles for detecting, jamming, and defeating small drones using electronic warfare and kinetic effectors. Strategically, M-LIDS addresses emerging drone threats, with deployments in Europe against Russian systems and potential Pacific use against China, as part of layered air defense enhancements.
