World Defense Show 2026: Northrop Grumman to present improved C2 management system

The US Army Intelligence and Information Warfare Directorate (I2WD) has awarded a task order to CACI International to continue providing Command, Control, Communications, and Prototyping Operations (C3PO) support, the company announced on 21 December.
The multi-million dollar, multi-year contract has been awarded under the Rapid Response-Third Generation contract vehicle.
The company will provide hardware and software engineering support to assist I2WD in protecting ground and air platforms against electronic warfare (EW) attack, and support the development of EW countermeasures.
I2WD is the army’s centre for research and development of advanced cyber operations, radar, signals intelligence technologies, electronic warfare, and intelligence analysis, exploitation, and dissemination capabilities.
John Mengucci, chief operating officer and president of US operations, CACI, said: ‘CACI’s engineering solutions for electronic warfare technologies and techniques will help our US Army customer improve the survivability of air and ground platforms.’
Ken Asbury, president and chief executive officer, CACI, said: ‘CACI’s long experience with electronic warfare, combined with our technological innovation, will assist the US Army in providing troops with the technological edge to stay ahead of rapidly evolving global threats.’
