NAVAIR has awarded Northrop Grumman a $33.3 million contract earlier this month to install the Telephonics RDR-1700 maritime-surveillance radar on nine Fire Scout UAVs.
The project has to be completed within one year and the order came from the chief of naval operations under terms of an urgent operational needs statement.
