Boeing and Northrop Grumman have been awarded technology maturation and risk reduction contracts valued at $349.2 million and $328.6 million, respectively, over three years.
“The companies selected were determined to provide the best overall value to the warfighter and taxpayers based on the source selection’s evaluation factors — technical approach/technical risk and cost/price,” the Air Force said.
The Air Force plans to award a single GBSD engineering and manufacturing development contract in late 2020.
The Air Force said it will pursue a “modular systems architecture” for GBSD to make it easier for companies to offer and make enhancements over the program’s life.
