The Doolittle Raiders’ Legacy Lives On, 75 Years Later


On April 18, 1942, 80 men and 16 B-25 Mitchell medium bombers set off on what some said was an impossible mission, to change the course of World War II.

Strategic, long-range heavy bomber with low-observable technology and all-altitude capability to penetrate the most sophisticated air defenses in nuclear and conventional missions
Microelectronics and semiconductors— the tiny components such as transistors, amplifiers, regulators, sensors and switches that make everything from cars to phones to coffee makers and key fobs run.
1,000 times faster than the chips in your cell phone, microscopic in size and enabling high speed secure communications for DoD missions. This was the ask Bill Deal took on, and it resulted in so much more: a super technology, housed in a tiny microchip, made by the Northrop Grumman Microelectronics Center (NGMC), and it’s called the Terahertz (THz) technology.

NASA's upcoming Artemis II mission promises to break new ground in making space travel safer. Building on the success of the uncrewed Artemis I mission in 2022, the next will be NASA's first with a human crew.
Paul Torres steps on and off the blue sticky floor outside a cleanroom, ready to start his engineering shift at the micro-line in Apopka, Florida. It’s a space where he now works on cutting-edge technology for the Northrop Grumman Microelectronics Center, but it’s also where his career at Northrop Grumman began — not long ago, he was installing that same sticky floor as part of the janitorial staff.
