 Ahead of the Bell: Northrop Grumman - Boston.com
Minor modifications to the details of an Air Force bid request for more than $100 million to replace hundreds of refueling planes may be enough to keep Northrop Grumman in the running for the deal.
Northrop, after fighting the Air Force for contract modifications that would favor its larger aircraft, had threatened to withdraw from the competition to replace the 1950s-era midair refueling tanker if the details appeared to favor Boeing.
A Northrop spokesman told the Associated Press the company needed time to review the modified bid before deciding whether to compete, but Wall Street may be betting on the company staying in the race.

The Tactical High Energy Laser Advanced Concept Technology Demonstrator (THEL ACTD) was designed and built by a Northrop Grumman-led team for the U.S. Army Space and Missile Defense Command and the Israel Ministry of Defence.
This remarkable success was made possible by Northrop Grumman’s disciplined approach to design, integration and testing of this revolutionary system.
It was designed from the beginning as an operational laser weapon demonstrator, not a “white coat laboratory system.” The result: it’s real and it works – after nearly four years of field operations, and after shooting down dozens of threats, it continues to operate reliably, engaging new threats it was not originally designed to engage.
