Northrop Grumman and Pratt and Whitney have been awarded a $409 million contract each for next generation thermal, power, and controls.
Both the contractors will develop revolutionary and innovative technologies that will conduct applied research to increase knowledge and understanding of future power, thermal and controls requirements, while advancing technology development, in an effort to prove technological feasibility and assess operability of thermal, power, and controls components and architectures through proof of principal demonstrations, the US Department of Defense said in a statement Tuesday.
Work is expected to be complete by July 2024.
