Northrop Grumman Finalizes Team for Joint Warfighting Center Bid
SUFFOLK, Va., Feb. 15, 2006 (PRIMEZONE) -- Northrop Grumman Corporation
has formed its team that will bid to continue providing
joint-training support to the U.S. Joint Forces Command's Joint Warfighting
Center (JWFC).
The JWFC provides a globally integrated, transformational training
environment to best prepare U.S. armed forces to fight. The winner of this
$250 million, six-year contract will play an important part in helping the
JWFC accomplish its mission of conducting, supporting and assessing joint
training and developing joint doctrines.
Northrop Grumman's Mission Systems sector is leading the team, which
combines a core of proven performers and a number of new members. The team
members were carefully selected to provide the unique capabilities required
to prepare U.S. forces and government and coalition partners to operate in
today's complex and ever-changing world.
"The core members of our team have a long history of supporting the
ever-evolving requirements of joint training," said Keith Beavers, director
of advanced warfighting solutions for Northrop Grumman Mission Systems. "The
new members, which include several highly agile and leading-edge training
technologists, bring the team even greater depth and breadth of training
experience."
The members of Northrop Grumman's team are: Adayana Inc., Edina, Minn.;
Anteon International Corp., Fairfax, Va.; Booz Allen Hamilton, McLean, Va.;
Capstone Corp., Alexandria, Va.; Concurrent Technologies Corp., Johnstown,
Pa.; Cornerstone Industry Inc., Alexandria, Va.; Cubic Defense Applications,
San Diego; General Dynamics Advanced Information Systems, Arlington, Va.;
Intelligent Decision Systems Inc., Centreville, Va.; Lockheed Martin Corp.,
Bethesda, Md.; Loyola Enterprises Inc., Virginia Beach, Va.; MPRI,
Alexandria, Va.; MYMIC, Portsmouth, Va.; System Studies and Simulation Inc.,
Huntsville, Ala.; and SRS Technologies, Newport Beach, Calif.
"As the JWFC mission has expanded over the years, we have been there to
support the accomplishment of that mission," Beavers said. "With the nation
at war, we owe the JWFC and, more importantly, the men and women of the U.S.
armed forces it trains, the strongest possible team to provide the very best
in joint training. We see it as our duty and firmly believe we have formed
just that team."
