Northrop Grumman has been awarded a British contract to continue supporting the CUTLASS explosive ordnance disposal robot.
Under the two-year contract with the Ministry of Defense’s Special Projects Search and Counter Measures unit, Northrop Grumman will keep working at the company’s Coventry, U.K., facility, where the company provides life-cycle support for all of its unmanned EOD robots.
“Our CUTLASS vehicle has set new standards for unmanned ground vehicles since it was first introduced, significantly enhancing the ability of users to handle hazardous threats safely,” said Andrew Tyler, chief executive of Northrop Grumman Europe.
“The vehicle is in-service across the U.K. and has proven itself to be robust and capable in the most demanding environments.”
