Cobham and Northrop Grumman Win $2.4B U.S. Army Contract
Cobham and Northrop Grumman have won a $2.4 Billion contract to supply battlefield communication software to the U.S. Army.
Under the contract, Cobham and Northrop Grumman will supply the -X Vehicular Intercommunication System Expanded. Initially, the companies will be expected to deliver up to 500 VIS-X systems monthly but will have to provide up to 2,000 systems after the first year. The program will be installed in the Humvee, Abrams, and Bradley tanks.
“VIS-X will allow soldiers and other vehicle mounted troops to communicate faster, safer and more securely with greater understanding of the operational situation during the most demanding missions,” said Allan Cook, Chief Executive of Cobham.
