JTRS AMF subcontract awarded

Lockheed Martin, who won the next increment of the JTRS AMF, awarded a subcontract to Northrop Grumman to provide technology to support production. See an article here. Earlier this year Lockheed Martin was named the winner of the JTRS AMF radio contract. They now have given Northrop Grumman a subcontract to lead the small airborne radio part of the system.

Lockheed Martin team wins JTRS contract

In my previous post I was quite incorrect as I thought Boeing would win the new JTRS AMF SD&D contract. It turns out that Lockheed Martin’s team did based on this newspaper story. The JTRS AMF had just passed a DAB and the work for the next phase was waiting to be awarded. I had made the assumption that Boeing would win it based on their earlier work on the system. The initial contract value is $766 M.
