The Modeling and Simulation Vistas – Threat and Advanced Simulation Development task order will support round-the-clock operational and training requirements. The agency awarded the work through the U.S. Air Force’s Enterprise-Wide Agile Acquisition Contract.
Northrop Grumman will develop tools designed to model emerging threats and simulate potential attack scenarios. The work will support the development of layered homeland missile defense capabilities and provide mission data directly to military personnel.
“MDA is thinking big and moving fast, and Northrop Grumman is fully committed to supporting this mission with rapid, innovative and affordable solutions. Our focus is on delivering advanced technologies that strengthen MDA’s mission and provide the warfighter with unmatched adaptability and performance against evolving threats,” said Raymond Sharp, vice president, missile defense integration, Northrop Grumman.
The new task order succeeds the Specialized Warfighter Development Contract. Under that program, Northrop Grumman supported the Missile Defense Agency for nearly a decade with simulation tools for continuous operations and training.
The company will use scalable development methods, digital infrastructure and artificial intelligence-enhanced tools. Northrop Grumman said the approach would improve technical performance and reliability while reducing overall costs.
The simulation systems are intended to help planners anticipate potential attack scenarios and adapt defenses to changing threats. Northrop Grumman said the program builds on decades of experience in missile defense modeling and simulation.
