Luna secures large, multi-unit follow-on order under agreement with Northrop

Luna Innovations (LUNA) Incorporated announced that it has extended its existing relationship with Northrop Grumman (NOC) by securing a new, multi-unit, multi-million dollar order for its OBR 6200 portable backscatter reflectometer. The order was placed under the auspices of the multi-year agreement the company announced last December. “The longevity and success of our relationship with Northrop Grumman is a testament to the value and criticality of our products and what they bring to the defense sector on a global scale,” said Scott Graeff, President and Chief Executive Officer of Luna. “Luna has a long history of working in close collaboration with our partners to provide advanced solutions based on our market leading position in fiber optic diagnostics and sensing. We are honored to work with our partner Northrop Grumman to enhance our national defense by supporting the global fleet of F-35 aircraft.” Under the structure of the multi-year agreement between the two companies, Northrop Grumman places annual orders for supply of test systems under pre-negotiated pricing, simplifying the transaction and resulting in more efficient use of resources. As Luna has reported previously, the OBR 6200 instrument is included with the sustainment equipment when F-35s are deployed globally.
