Northrop Grumman has received a $16.8 million contract modification to perform cryptography upgrades on the U.S. Air Force’s intercontinental ballistic missile system.
The Defense Department said Wednesday the modification falls under a previously awarded contract for ICBM prime integration services and seeks to address a request for equitable adjustment related to program changes.
The company will perform work at Hill Air Force Base in Utah through Sept. 30, 2018.
Northrop was awarded a five-year, $963.5 million contract in 2015 that covers engineering, emergency response, management, system analysis and technical assistance services for the ICBM program.
