Northrop Grumman has received a $22.7 million contract modification to provide engineering and design services for the U.S. Navy's Common Missile Compartment. The modification is the latest adjustment for the Common Missile Compartment project, a device slated for use aboard the Columbia-class submarines under development. The company received its last modification for the program in March 2016. Northrop Grumman's contract with the U.S. Navy includes options which, if exercised, have the potential to bring the total contract value to $198 million. Under the new modification, the company is tasked with providing additional technical engineering, design and development engineering, component and full-scale test and evaluation, and tactical underwater launch hardware production.
