As Northrop upgrades the E-6B fleet, the company is also preparing to compete against Collins Aerospace to design and outfit the E-6B's next-gen replacement aircraft.

The US Navy has awarded Lockheed Martin a $62 million contract modification to study the suitability of the C-130J aircraft for the E-XX TACAMO programme.

The new contract, announced April 13, covers studies, engineering analysis, airframe analysis and risk reduction.

The airplane would be built from a stretched version of the C-130J and allow the president to communicate with nuclear-armed submarines in case of war.

Northrop Grumman on April 3 outlined its full team of subcontractors for its U.S. Navy E-XX Take-Charge-and-Move-Out (Tacamo) offer.

Northrop Grumman Corporation is partnering with Lockheed Martin Skunk Works, Raytheon Intelligence & Space, Crescent Systems, and Long Wave Inc. to develop a solution for the US Navy’s E-XX TACAMO requirement.
