NGC to Build Data System for Defense Intelligence Agency

Northrop Grumman Corporation (NYSE: NOC) has been awarded a task order contract by the U.S. General Services Administration’s (GSA) Federal Systems Integration and Management Center (FEDSIM) and the Defense Intelligence Agency to help the organization deliver actionable intelligence with speed and enhance decision superiority. Valued at $690 million, Northrop Grumman will deliver the Transforming All-Source Analysis with Location-Based Object Services (TALOS) program.
