“Building on our 40 years of support to the AFRL/RI, Northrop Grumman will digitally transform InSITE to meet its space domain awareness and counterspace intelligence mission priorities.”

Work under this contract will be performed by the company using its digital capabilities to deliver cloud-enabled applications.

It will further facilitate the exchange of data across the US Department of Defense, as well as other satellite locations and Intelligence Community customer centres.

The applications will also assist the recently established US Space Force unit, called National Air and Space Intelligence Center (NASIC), in support of the ‘One AFRL, Two Services’ objective.

AFRL recently awarded a contract to Northrop Grumman to increase the service’s hypersonic manufacturing capacity while making it more affordable.
