NORTHROP GRUMMAN CORPORATION
AEROSPACE SYSTEMS
Aerospace Systems, headquartered in Redondo Beach, California, is a leader in the design, development,
integration and production of manned and unmanned aircraft, spacecraft, high-energy laser systems,
microelectronics and other systems and subsystems. Aerospace Systems’ customers, primarily domestic government
agencies, use these systems in many different mission areas including intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance;
communications; battle management; strike operations; electronic warfare; missile defense; earth observation; space
science; and space exploration. The segment consists of four business areas: Strike & Surveillance Systems; Space
Systems; Battle Management & Engagement Systems; and Advanced Programs & Technology.
Strike & Surveillance Systems – designs, develops, manufactures and integrates tactical and long-range strike aircraft
systems, unmanned systems, and missile systems. Key programs include the RQ-4 Global Hawk unmanned
reconnaissance system, B-2 stealth bomber, F-35 Lightning II (F-35), F/A-18 Super Hornet strike fighter,
Minuteman III Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM), MQ-8B Fire Scout unmanned aircraft system, and
Multi-Platform Radar Technology Insertion Program (MP-RTIP).
Space Systems – designs, develops, manufactures, and integrates spacecraft systems, subsystems and electronic and
communications payloads. Major programs include the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), Advanced
Extremely High Frequency (AEHF) payload and many restricted programs.
Battle Management & Engagement Systems – designs, develops, manufactures, and integrates airborne early warning,
surveillance, battlefield management, and electronic warfare systems. Key programs include the E-2 Hawkeye,
Joint Surveillance Target Attack Radar System (Joint STARS), Broad Area Maritime Surveillance (BAMS)
unmanned aircraft system, EA-6B Prowler and its next generation platform, the EA-18G Growler, and Long
Endurance Multi Intelligence Vehicle (LEMV).
Advanced Programs & Technology – creates advanced technologies and concepts to satisfy existing and emerging
customer needs. This business area matures these technologies and concepts to create and capture new programs
that other Aerospace Systems business areas can execute. Existing programs include the Navy Unmanned Combat
Air System (N-UCAS), and other directed energy and advanced concepts programs.
ELECTRONIC SYSTEMS
Electronic Systems, headquartered in Linthicum, Maryland, is a leader in the design, development, manufacture,
and support of solutions for sensing, understanding, anticipating, and controlling the environment for our global
military, civil, and commercial customers and their operations. Electronic Systems provides a variety of defense
electronics and systems, airborne fire control radars, situational awareness systems, early warning systems, airspace
management systems, navigation systems, communications systems, marine systems, space systems, and logistics
services. The segment consists of five business areas: Intelligence, Surveillance, & Reconnaissance Systems; Land &
Self Protection Systems; Naval & Marine Systems; Navigation Systems; and Targeting Systems.
Intelligence, Surveillance & Reconnaissance (ISR) Systems – delivers products and services for space satellite
applications, airborne and ground based surveillance, multi-sensor processing, analysis, and dissemination for
combat units and national agencies both domestically and internationally, providing battlespace awareness, missile
defense, and command and control. The division continues to develop advanced space-based radar and electro-
optical early warning and surveillance systems for strategic, tactical, and weather operations along with systems for
enhancing the discovery, sharing, and exploitation of ISR data. Key products include the Space-Based Infrared
System (SBIRS), Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP), Defense Support Program (DSP), ground
processing, exploitation and dissemination systems, the TPS-78/703 family of ground based surveillance radars,
and the Multi-role Electronically Scanned Array (MESA) radar.
Land & Self Protection Systems – delivers products, systems, and services that support ground-based, helicopter and
fixed wing platforms (manned and unmanned) with sensor and protection systems. These systems perform threat
detection and countermeasures that defeat infrared and radio frequency (RF) guided missile and tracking systems.
