Northrop Grumman Awarded Contract for US Navy's AN/SLQ-32(V)7/SEWIP
Block 3 Development
Northrop
Grumman Corporation has been awarded a $91.7 million engineering, manufacturing
and development (EMD) contract from the U.S. Navy to further mature
system designs for the AN/SLQ-32(V)7 (SEWIP B3) electronic warfare system.
Under the contract, Northrop Grumman will finalize integration modeling
and test plans, and produce two prototype models for laboratory and
field testing.

The contract
award follows the successful completion of the preliminary design review
(PDR) for the electronic warfare system.
SEWIP B3 will be integrated with other sensors and combat management
systems to create the AN/SLQ-32(V)7 Electronic Warfare attack system.
This generational leap in capability is the result of an incremental
series of upgrades which adds new technologies and capabilities for
early detection, signal analysis, threat warning and protection from
anti-ship missiles. The system enables Navy warships to counter threats
non-kinetically.
"We have kept pace with a challenging schedule since the preliminary
design award in February," said Todd Leavitt, vice president, maritime
systems, Northrop Grumman Electronic Systems. "The success of the
PDR and award of the EMD contract reflect the strong partnership we
have formed with the Navy to deliver this urgently-needed capability
to our nation's sailors."
