Jordan v. Northrop Grumman (Installation of Substandard Parts in Navy Target Drones)
Allegedly, Northrop Grumman knowingly installed substandard parts in target drones designed for the Navy. This was a violation of the False Claims Act 31 USC §§ 3729-3733, et. seq. The Navy found 32 drones to be defective in firing range operations. The matter was settled as part of a joint settlement with the case United States of America v. Newport News Shipbuilding, Inc. #1:03CV142-A. Of the $80 million that was paid as part of this joint settlement, approximately $20 million served as restitution for the defective drones.
