Northrop Grumman to enhance US Air Force intelligence
The US Air Force Research Laboratory Information Directorate (AFRL/RI) has awarded Northrop Grumman a $406 million contract for the Intelligence Systems Infrastructure, Tools and Enhancements (InSITE) programme.
The deal, announced on 17 January, will advance information collection and analysis across the AFRL/RI customer set.
InSITE will modernise the AFRL/RI’s intelligence information collection, sharing and analysis capabilities by implementing AI solutions. This will enable the force to make faster, better-informed decisions to deny, disrupt or defeat threats across all domains and with allies globally, Northrop Grumman said.
