Northrop Grumman Corp. has been selected to maintain and operate forensic and biometric software used by the U.K.’s Home Office under a two-year, $45.1 million re-compete contract award.
The Forensic and Biometric Interim Capability software is part of the U.K.’s national infrastructure for policing, Northrop said Tuesday.
Andrew Tyler, Northrop’s chief executive for Europe, said the company will extend its work with the British government to fulfill the U.K. police service’s national identity management requirements.
Northrop will perform work in Coventry and Fareham in the U.K. and in the United States in collaboration with Morpho, Crossmatch Technologies and Phoenix IT Services.
