Northrop Grumman Secures Major Contracts for Advanced Strike Missiles

Northrop Grumman has been awarded a $705 million contract by the U.S. Air Force to develop and test the Stand-in Attack Weapon (SiAW), an advanced air-to-ground missile. The SiAW will provide strike capability against relocatable targets in anti-access/area denial environments. The missile design features open architecture interfaces for rapid upgrades, and the Air Force aims to achieve initial operational capability by 2026. Northrop Grumman's SiAW leverages digital engineering capabilities and will be developed over the next 36 months for rapid fielding.
