Luna Secures Multi-Year Agreement with Northrop Grumman

Initial order of over $3 million

Luna Innovations Incorporated (NASDAQ: LUNA), a global leader in advanced fiber optic-based technology, today announced that it has extended its existing relationship with Northrop Grumman by securing a new multi-year, multi-million-dollar agreement. The agreement includes an initial receipt of an over $3 million incremental, multi-unit purchase order for the OBR 6200 portable backscatter reflectometer.

“We are excited to continue our strong relationship with Northrop Grumman, and we look forward to continuing our work with them providing critical testing and monitoring technology for the aerospace and defense industry,” said Scott Graeff, President and CEO of Luna Innovations. “Luna has a long history of working in close collaboration with our partners to provide the products that meet and exceed their needs. We are honored that companies like Northrop Grumman and Lockheed Martin recognize the quality of our technology.”

The order is structured as a multi-year agreement with Northrop Grumman, one of the world’s largest aerospace and defense technology companies, who oversees procurement and distribution, along with Lockheed Martin, of sustainment equipment for the F-35 aircraft. As Luna has reported previously, the OBR 6200 instrument is included with the sustainment equipment when F-35s are deployed globally.

Luna’s Communications and Testing products, including the OBR, help customers precisely detect potential failure points in fiber optic networks, thereby reducing the time and cost of completing critical installation and trouble-shooting projects. The rugged and portable OBR 6200 provides industry-leading accuracy and sensitivity for testing fiber optic networks deployed in aerospace, naval, data center and industrial applications. Due to its superior resolution and precision, the OBR 6200 exceeds the measurement and diagnostic capabilities of the industry-standard optical time-domain reflectometer (OTDR).

The aerospace and defense market is expected to grow to $961.21 billion by 2026 (Aerospace and Defense Global Market Report). Luna anticipates opportunities to accelerate revenue as Northrop Grumman and the industry continues its recovery from COVID and expands into advanced air mobility, hypersonics, electric propulsion, and hydrogen-powered aircraft.
