About Northrop Grumman

Northrop Grumman's four sectors are Aeronautics Systems, Defense Systems, Mission Systems and Space Systems. Aeronautics develops aircraft and aerospace structures; Defense Systems covers weapons, battle management, readiness and strategic deterrence; Mission Systems supplies cyber-secure, software-defined defense and intelligence systems; and Space Systems delivers spacecraft, launch systems and related capabilities. The portfolio includes the B-21 Raider, airborne surveillance systems, integrated air-defense command systems and missile propulsion. The company combines major platform-prime responsibilities with subsystem work on other contractors’ programs. Its technology footprint spans air, land, sea, cyber and space, making it important to distinguish product-level maturity from the capabilities of the corporation as a whole.
