Northrup wins radar contract
Business continues to boom for defense manu-facturers at least. Baltimore, MD-based Northrop Grumman Corporation signed a contract worth $160 million with The Boeing Company to deliver four Multi-role Electronically Scanned Array (MESA) radar systems for Turkey’s “Peace Eagle” 737 airborne early warning and control program.
The Turkish government selected the Boeing-led team in 2001. Contract negotiations were completed in late 2002, and the Peace Eagle program officially started in July 2003. Delivery of the four MESA systems is scheduled to begin in August 2005 and conclude in June 2007. Boeing is slated to deliver the first fully integrated aircraft to Turkey in July 2007, with the fourth delivery scheduled for June 2008.
“The importance of this second customer for the 737 MESA cannot be overemphasized,” William R. Adams, vice president of Airborne Surveillance Systems at Northrop Grumman’s Electronic Systems sector said. “Turkey’s order folds nicely into our production effort for Australia’s Wedgetail program, and it positions the product line to take advantage of near-term opportunities in other friendly nations as well.”
