Northrop Grumman Wins $1.4B Contracts for U.S. and Poland Air Defense

Northrop Grumman has received two contracts worth $1.4 billion to advance air and missile defense capabilities for the U.S. Army and Poland, focusing on the Integrated Battle Command System (IBCS).

The first contract, valued at $481 million over five years, was awarded by the U.S. Army’s Aviation Missile Technology Consortium. It includes $347.6 million for Poland’s defense initiatives and $133.7 million for the U.S. military and the Guam Defense System. Northrop Grumman will expand IBCS software development and integrate Polish sensors and the United Kingdom’s Common Anti-Air Modular Missile (CAMM) system. Artificial intelligence and model-based systems engineering will be used to enhance system capabilities.

The second contract, worth $899.6 million, covers the deployment of IBCS as Poland’s central command and control system for the WISŁA medium-range and NAREW short-range air defense programs. The NAREW program, developed by MBDA UK and Poland’s Polska Grupa Zbrojeniowa, incorporates the CAMM-Extended Range missile.

Northrop Grumman delivered the first full set of IBCS components to the U.S. Army in 2024, supporting early fielding. The system has demonstrated interoperability with emerging sensors and effectors through tests involving the Lower Tier Air and Missile Defense Sensor (LTAMDS), Patriot Advanced Capability–3 (PAC-3), and Integrated Fire Protection Capability Increment 2 (IFPC Inc 2).

IBCS enables integration of multiple sensors and weapons into a unified network, providing real-time decision-making tools. Poland’s adoption of the system strengthens interoperability with U.S. forces, enhancing its overall air and missile defense capabilities.
