Logicon Inc., a unit of a Northrop Grumman Corp., has received two contracts totaling $89 million from Boeing to support the National Missile Defense program. Logicon’s Anaheim office will be one of two sites in California working on the contract.
Logicon has worked with Boeing on similar contracts that have totaled $125 million in revenue for Logicon since 1998, according to the company.
The purpose of the program is to develop a system that destroys incoming missiles by intercepting them in-flight. It is in the development phase.
Logicon’s Anaheim site will develop the ground software that will communicate with the interceptor during pre-launch until the time it commands the interceptor to launch. The software also will plan the flight path of the interceptor.
Logicon’s Anaheim office has 80 employees and may hire more to fulfill the contracts, which will run through September 2007, the company said.
