WASHINGTON - Air Force officials awarded a production contract to the Northrop Grumman Corporation Dec. 29 for the B-2 stealth bomber radar modernization program.

The production contract, with a target price of approximately $468 million, will provide advanced state-of-the-art radar components to ensure sustained operational viability of the B-2 bomber fleet at Whiteman Air Force Base, Mo., well into the foreseeable future.

Northrop Grumman Integrated System in Palmdale, Calif., is the B-2 RMP prime contractor and has significant subcontracting efforts with Raytheon Space and Airborne Systems in El Segundo, Calif.; Lockheed Martin Systems Integration in Owego, N.Y.; and BAE Systems in Greenlawn, N.Y.

The award of the B-2 RMP production contract builds upon successful initial operational test and evaluation flight tests that were recently completed at Edwards AFB, Calif.
