CPI Aerostructures, Inc. ("CPI Aero®" or the "Company") (NYSE:CVU), a leading manufacturer of structural assemblies in both the commercial and military defense aerospace markets, announced today that it received a fully definitized contract from L3Harris Technologies (NYSE:LHX) totaling $13.6 million to deliver airborne pod structures. The previously announced undefinitized contract action (UCA) had a not-to-exceed of $12.1 million. This contract supports L3Harris’ delivery of operational prototype pods to the U.S. Naval Air Systems Command for fleet assessment and additional test assets for airworthiness and design verification. The NGJ-LB pods will fly on the EA-18G Growler and are integral to the Navy’s plan to replace the aging AN/ALQ-99 Tactical Jamming System. CPI recently delivered the first Test Article to L3Harris and has been providing Design for Manufacturing and Assembly (DFMA) engineering support since the program commenced in late 2024.

The Next Generation Jammer Low Band (NGJ-LB) is an advanced airborne electronic warfare system. L3Harris’ solution consolidates advanced processing with increased jamming capability and will be easier to maintain than the Navy’s current system through a modular, open-system architecture that enables seamless upgrades. The L3Harris system will operate with joint and allied forces to provide growth capacity for future technology integration to stay ahead of adversarial capabilities.
