Northrop Grumman has secured two contracts worth $1.4 billion to enhance air and missile defense for the U.S. Army and Poland.
The first deal is a $481 million, five-year contract from the U.S. Army’s Aviation Missile Technology Consortium to improve software for the Integrated Battle Command System. Of the total, $347.6 million supports Poland’s defense projects, while $133.7 million funds U.S. military efforts and the Guam Defense System. The contract tasks Northrop to collaborate with artificial intelligence and systems engineering specialists to enhance IBCS software and integrate Polish sensors and the United Kingdom’s Common Anti-Air Modular Missile system.
The second contract, valued at $899.6 million, designates Northrop to deliver IBCS for Poland’s WISŁA and NAREW air defense programs. In December 2024, the Polish Ministry of National Defence declared initial operational capability for its first IBCS-enabled WISŁA battery. Warsaw is the first U.S. ally to adopt the integrated system and reportedly plans to use it for six WISŁA and 23 NAREW batteries by 2031.
Northrop’s IBCS integrates multiple sensors and weapons systems from various origins and domains into a single, unified network. As a key component of the U.S. Army’s modernization efforts, it offers warfighters a comprehensive view of the battlespace, enabling quicker and more informed decisions.
Kenn Todorov, vice president and general manager of global battle management and readiness at Northrop Grumman, said the company is committed to supporting the U.S. Army’s vision for integrated air and missile defense. “Expanding IBCS capabilities will keep the U.S. Army and U.S. allies, such as Poland, ahead of evolving threats and capabilities, giving warfighters more decision time to save lives,” he added.
