Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation (NGSC), a subsidiary of Northrop Grumman Corporation, has agreed to pay a total of $31.65 million to settle False Claims Act-based civil and criminal allegations concerning fraudulent billing of the U.S. Air Force. NGSC allegedly overbilled for time that its Middle East-based employees spent working on the Battlefield Airborne Communications Node (BACN) and Dynamic Re-tasking Capability (DRC) contracts. According to NGSC timesheets, employees were putting in exactly 12-13.5 hours a day, seven days a week, for multiple years. At one location alone, the overbilling resulted in a loss of more than $5 million. DOJ; USAO SDCA
