Northrop Grumman Corp., the largest supplier of spy drones to the U.S. military, won a $276.3-million contract to supply aircraft battlefield communication equipment to the Air Force.
The equipment is part of a program to enhance communications systems overseas, the Defense Department said on its website.
Northrop, which is based in Century City, will install the system in three Bombardier Inc. BD-700 Global Express aircraft and two unmanned Global Hawk drones. The equipment is a relay system that enables users of incompatible military radios to communicate with one another, according to Northrop’s website.
