The cyber and electronic warfare (EW) initiatives are aimed to develop the army’s lethality in non-kinetic engagements across warfare domains.

Northrop Grumman Mission Systems, cyber and intelligence mission solutions vice-president Ginger Wierzbanowski said: “Northrop Grumman is proud to be selected by the US Army to deliver world-class cyber and electronic warfare capabilities to the nation’s warfighters.

“Our work on R4 will help ensure our army forces can rapidly identify, develop and leverage the full range of CEMA effects necessary to deter, deny and prevail on the battlefield.”

“The need to improve our warfighters’ ability to compete on an integrated battlefield, especially prior to traditional armed conflict, cannot be overstated.”

Through the R4 contract, the company will compete for orders that cover activities such as research and technology development, integration support, laboratory demonstration, integrated systems development, performance verification, logistics, technical support services, and cybersecurity.
