WASHINGTON Aug 26 (Reuters) - Northrop Grumman Corp (NOC.N) was awarded a U.S. Air Force contract boost, up to $3.4 billion, to support the radar-evading B-2 bomber, the Defense Department said on Wednesday.
The Pentagon, in its daily contract digest, did not specify the previous ceiling value of Northrop's contract. The United States deploys 20 B-2s as the flagship of its long-range strike arsenal.
