Northrop Grumman has received a potential $37.5M contract modification to provide materials needed to update the Multi-Role Tactical Common Data Link system of the U.S. Navy's E-6B Mercury command post and communications relay aircraft.
The modification falls under a previously awarded basic ordering agreement and covers the delivery of seven MR-TCDL B-kits, a mission avionics systems trainer B-kit and related spares for the Boeing-built aircraft, the Department of Defense said Wednesday.
Work will take place in San Diego, Boston and Salt Lake City through October 2021.
Naval Air Systems Command will obligate the full contract amount using aircraft procurement funds for fiscal years 2018 and 2019.
