The U.S. Marine Corps awarded Northrop Grumman a $207 million modification to a previously awarded contract to begin low-rate initial production (LRIP) of four ground/air task-oriented radar (G/ATOR) systems, plus spares and support. G/ATOR is the Pentagon’s first program to develop a ground-based, multi-mission active electronically scanned array (AESA) radar, the company said.
