Northrop Grumman was awarded a $262.3 million deal for Active Electronically Scanned Array radars on F-16 aircraft for the Air Force, the Department of Defense announced Tuesday. The deal modifies a previous contract awarded in May 2017 for $243.8 million.

It is used in aerial, ground and sea-based systems and is said to be less detectable and more effective than earlier models of radar.

Work on the contract will be performed at Linthicum Heights, Md., with an expected completion date of December 2022.
