A whistleblower lawsuit accuses Northrop Grumman’s Melbourne division of defrauding the federal government’s Joint STARS radar aircraft program.
The suit alleges that through inflated labor charges, false overtime claims and other billings, Northrop Melbourne has massively overcharged the government.
According to a March 7, 2008 article in the Orlando Sentinal, the government declined to intervene in the case at this time.
