Northrop Grumman Team Awarded CANES Development Contract
Northrop Grumman Team Awarded CANES Development ContractMarch 5, 2010
SAN DIEGO -- The U.S. Navy has selected Northrop Grumman Corporation (NYSE:NOC) for the development phase of the U.S. Navy's Consolidated Afloat Networks and Enterprise Services (CANES) program. CANES will streamline and update shipboard network systems to
improve interoperability and affordability across the fleet.
A team led by Northrop Grumman received a $17.4 million indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity, cost-plus-incentive-fee,
cost-plus-fixed-fee and firm-fixed-price contract, one of two CANES Common Computing Environment system development contracts awarded by the Program Executive Office C4I, Tactical Networks Program Manager (PMW-160) in San Diego on March 4. Work under the contract is expected to be complete in April 2011.
If all options are exercised, the contract will include system production through September 2014 and be valued at $775 million.
IBM Global Business Services, Bethesda, Md., is Northrop Grumman's major technology and services partner on CANES.
The CANES program is an investment in a modernized command, control, communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (C4ISR) architecture that will increase security while significantly reducing development, deployment and lifecycle costs.
"As the Navy elevates information to a core warfighting capability and effects full maritime domain awareness, the foundational infrastructure must be based on a secure, reliable and interoperable network," said Linda A. Mills, corporate vice president and president of Northrop Grumman Information Systems sector. "The Northrop Grumman team is honored and 'at the ready' to take on this vital effort for information age operations."
Northrop Grumman builds more ships, in more ship classes, than any other U.S. naval shipbuilder. The company also has more than 40 years of C4ISR experience and has fielded the majority of the Navy's C4ISR applications.
"Our team's approach focuses on providing required C4ISR infrastructure capabilities at minimal total ownership cost. We designed a technically and financially superior solution by applying the Northrop Grumman-developed Modular Open Systems Approach -
Competitive™ (MOSA-C(TM) ) process, an enduring, vendor- and product-neutral, model-based architecture that leverages our in-depth
knowledge and domain experience across the Navy," said Michael Twyman, vice president for Integrated Command, Control, Communications and Intelligence Systems at Northrop Grumman.
Northrop Grumman's MOSA-C(TM) is a strategic business and engineering process that realizes the life-cycle benefits of open-systems architecture and commercial off- the-shelf (COTS) components and software. Applying MOSA-C(TM), the company verified "plug and play" modularity and the ability of multiple COTS and open source products to meet CANES current and future requirements, providing a low-risk solution verified through extensive testing. Northrop Grumman also integrated a service-oriented architecture and C4ISR applications with its CANES approach, reducing the risk in deploying the next generation of C4ISR solutions for the Navy.
The Northrop Grumman-led team also includes key small-business partners Atlas Technologies, Charleston, S.C.; Beatty and Company Computing, Juno Technologies, and Syzygy Technologies, Inc., all based in San Diego; and CenterBeam, Inc., San Jose, Calif.
The CANES program office for the Northrop Grumman team will be located in San Diego.

REDONDO BEACH, Calif. – The Maritime Laser Demonstration (MLD) system being developed by Northrop Grumman Corporation (NYSE:NOC) has passed two milestone reviews by the Office of Naval Research, which point to the real potential of the MLD weapon system design.
Representatives from the U.S. Navy, U.S. Army and the High
Energy Laser Joint Technology Office conducted a critical design review
and critical safety review of the MLD at the Dahlgren Naval Surface
Warfare Center in Dahlgren, Va.
"These reviews indicate that our MLD design should meet the
Navy's objectives in future demonstrations," said Steve Hixson, vice
president of Advanced Concepts – Space and Directed Energy Systems for
Northrop Grumman's Aerospace Systems sector. "Next we will finalize
detailed test plans and move into land-based, live fire tests."
Northrop Grumman will conduct an at-sea demonstration of this
revolutionary capability, according to Dan Wildt, vice president,
Directed Energy Systems. "We will prove that the pinpoint accuracy and
response capability of our MLD system can protect Navy ships and
personnel by keeping threats at a safe distance. We will accomplish
this while leveraging technologies with proven scalability that may
ultimately enable addressing additional threats of interest to the
Navy."
The company received a contract from the Office of Naval
Research in July 2009 to demonstrate an innovative laser weapon system
by the end of 2010 suitable for operating in a marine environment and
able to defeat small boat threats, and ultimately could be applicable
to other self-defense missions. The indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity MLD contract has a ceiling value of up to $98 million and an expected overall completion date of June 2014.

The Alabama company GATR Technologies was awarded a contract by the U.S. Navy to provide inflatable satellite communication terminals. The contract is an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (ID/IQ) contract which means that under it the Navy may buy as many as they want but doesn’t necessarily have to buy any. The one year contract could be worth up to $26 million to the company.
GATR Technologies makes a rather innovative system where the antenna and terminal are part of a big inflatable ball. This means that it is easy to transport and may be set up in rough terrain or remote locations just be inflating it. It weights very little and is quite portable. The system require two cases as well as requiring an external power source. This concept just demonstrates the ingenuity that is out there when it comes to making systems more effective.
