Northrop Grumman wins $33.7 million border security contract
Award is adjunct to SBI-Net; pilot program to be deployed at forty border crossings with Mexico
As Northrop Grumman waits for the $2 billion SBInet contract to be awarded in September, it is moving forward with other border security-related endeavors, announcing earlier this week that it had won a five-year $33.7 million contract from the Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agency for a border surveillance pilot program. Under the contract Northrop Grumman will provide digital imagery, motion detection, and remote monitoring technologies at forty official border crossings along the 1,900-mile U.S. border with Mexico, from San Diego, California to Brownsville, Texas. “The pilot will be evaluated and based on performance results, may be integrated into the SBInet solution set,” said Kirk Evans, acting executive director for CBP’s SBI Program Management Office.
