C4ISR

Advanced Command, Control, Communications, Computers Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (C4ISR) capabilities provide an advantage through situational awareness, knowledge of the adversary and environment, and shortening the time between sensing and response.

Northrop Grumman is a critical partner in delivering advanced C4ISR capabilities, systems integration, and open architectures across multiple domains. Our web of platforms, payloads, sensors and systems give our customers the information they need, when they need it, defining what’s possible.

Northrop Grumman has been there at pivotal moments in the past century – from building the first airplanes and developing the first radars to creating the Apollo Lunar Module. Our C4ISR leadership builds on that proud history of innovation and success.

For 60 years, Northrop Grumman has been a leader in the design, development and delivery of end-to-end communications & advanced networking capabilities for U.S. and allied military forces operating across multiple battlespace domains.

Northrop Grumman’s autonomous high-altitude, long-endurance (HALE) systems— beginning with the RQ-4 Global Hawk and now the MQ-4 Triton—have been providing critical ISR (Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance) data to operational commanders for over two decades.

Flying persistently at altitudes above 50,000 feet, these autonomous HALE systems deliver unmatched situational awareness over both land and maritime domains for the U.S. Air Force, U.S. Navy, and a growing list of international partners including NATO, Australia, South Korea, and Japan.

Our innovative C4ISR capabilities evolve with the mission, connecting high speed, decision quality data to the operator at the tactical edge.
