EDGEWOOD, N.Y., Feb. 20, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CPI Aerostructures, Inc. (“CPI Aero®”) (NYSE American:CVU) has received purchase orders from Northrop Grumman Corporation (NYSE:NOC) to supply structural components and kits for the Outer Wing Panel (OWP) on the third and fourth production E-2D Advanced Hawkeye airborne early warning and control (AEW&C) aircraft to be delivered to Japan. The purchase orders will be delivered under a contract announced in January 2016 between Northrop Grumman and CPI Aero valued at $25 million to $30 million.
