Northrop Grumman Wins $57M US Navy Counter Radio-controlled IED, EW Contract

Northrop Grumman is being awarded a $57 million US Navy contract for Joint Counter Radio-Controlled Improvised Explosive Device (RCIEDs), Electronic Warfare (JCREW) Increment One Build One Systems full-rate production in support of the Expeditionary Warfare Program Office.

Counter Radio-Controlled Improvised Explosive Device Electronic Warfare (CREW) systems provide combat troops protection against RCIEDs. CREW systems are designed to provide protection for foot soldiers, vehicles, and permanent structures. The Joint CREW (JCREW) Increment One Build One Systems are the first generation system that develops a common open architecture across all three capabilities and provides protection for worldwide military operations, the US Department of defense said in a statement Tuesday.

This integrated design maximizes commonality across all capabilities, reduces life cycle costs, and provides increased protection against worldwide threats.  This contract includes options which, if exercised, would bring the cumulative value of this contract to $505,335,105.  Work is expected to be completed by August 2022.
