Northrop Grumman has won a $298 million contract to develop a new jam-resistant military communications satellite. The Evolved Strategic Satcom program is intended to provide survivable, secure and protected communications for high-priority military operations and national command authorities, continuing services provided by the Advanced Extremely High Frequency (AEHF) satellite system. The satellite to be built under the contract awarded Wednesday by the Space and Missile Systems Center will be completed by May 2025.
