Northrop Grumman has received a three-year, $9 million contract to produce an initiating propellant for the U.S. Navy’s MK 48 torpedo, an underwater weapon equipped with sonar technology for anti-submarine warfare and anti-surface warfare missions.

The Navy solicited services from only one company to address the requirement and issued a $2.2 million initial delivery order under the indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract, the Department of Defense said Monday.

Work will take place at the company’s Elkton, Maryland, facility through November 2025.

In July 2017, Northrop was awarded a $50.1 million contract to manufacture 45 torpedo transducer array and nose shell assemblies for the heavyweight torpedo.
