The Pentagon on Friday said Northrop Grumman Systems Corp. was awarded a $959,104,178 firm-fixed-price contract for production of common infrared countermeasures.

The Pentagon said bids were solicited via the internet and one bid was received.

The work locations and funding will be determined with each order, the Pentagon said, adding the estimated completion for the work is April 29, 2026.

Northrop Grumman said its common infrared countermeasures system "provides protection against a wide range of infrared-guided anti-aircraft missile threats, including shoulder-fired and vehicle-launched."
