ICS has been continuously evolving for more than 25 years to provide the core C2 systems for the UK MoD and Nato headquarters / ships.

Furthermore, it is also deployed by many other countries to power their national C2 systems.

Northrop Grumman UK National Security Solutions director Katharine Sealy said: “Northrop Grumman in the UK has a long history of providing enhanced value and commercial flexibility for the MoD.

“Our agile approach to C2 software development and open architectural design philosophy helps to ensure that UK forces maintain an information advantage.”

The Defence Digital organisation has an annual budget of over £2bn and a team of some 2,400-workforce, including military, civil servants and contractors.

In May, Northrop Grumman secured a $959.1m full-rate production (FRP) contract for the US Army’s Common Infrared Countermeasure (CIRCM) system.
