As a national resource, our industry plays a critical role in supporting the warfighter to maintain global and economic stability and protect the security of America and its allies.

Sustaining American military superiority demands more than words alone—it requires continuous innovation, industrial readiness, and collaborative partnerships. These are the defining strengths of Northrop Grumman’s proven and indispensable role in equipping and protecting America’s warfighters.

In the modern era, superiority isn’t defined by stockpiles alone – it’s defined by capabilities so advanced, so unassailable, that they alter how adversaries calculate the risk of conflict, so aggression is prevented before it even starts.

Fortunately, the United States possesses a powerful defense industrial base that unites the trusted expertise of established leaders with the fresh thinking of new partners.

This ecosystem is a strategic national resource—one that has kept the U.S. at the forefront of global military capability. And it’s how America will stay ahead of whatever comes next. As an innovation leader and a cornerstone of America’s defense manufacturing base, Northrop Grumman doesn’t just imagine breakthrough capabilities — we invent and build them.

We create the technologies that define modern warfare – and our expertise is consistently sought out by industry partners who turn to Northrop Grumman’s unique expertise to transform bold ideas into operational realities.

That’s how we build real systems that provide real defense. Our satellites see what others can’t. Our 6th Generation aircraft can go where others won’t. Our technologies set the pacing threat, leading the way where others with less expertise and experience hesitate.

Yes, our work is complex. But our purpose is simple: to protect the nation, push the boundaries of what’s possible, and ensure the U.S. and its allies stay ahead—technologically, strategically, and decisively.

Everything we do is focused on one goal: keeping America’s global leadership secure and maintaining peace through undeniable strength.

The strength of the defense industrial base is defined by its people. The people who work at Northrop Grumman, and who collaborate with us in our supplier network, are the strategic assets who form the backbone of American manufacturing and innovation.

We’re delivering innovative solutions for America’s defense, now. Our mission-drive pioneering solutions equip our customers with the capabilities they need to connect and protect the world in aeronautics systems, satellites, missiles and propulsion systems, and weapons systems. We have the existing capacity to scale to meet mission demands.

Our people and our unwavering commitment set our technology apart. Nearly half of our employees are engineers, at the top of their fields and dedicated to advancing America’s technological superiority. These high-skill, high-wage jobs drive innovation, support local economies in all 50 states, and sustain a robust industrial base.

No one out innovates our people.

We have always been bullish on the future of American innovation. For decades, we have proudly delivered job creation and scaled economic growth in local communities across the United States. We are consistently committed to strengthening American manufacturing. We’re not talking about constructing a manufacturing facility that will be ready to defend America one day, but a footprint of 30 million square feet in American manufacturing, today.

Domestic production at Northrop Grumman facilities ensures access to critical technology. With two secure microelectronics foundries, Northrop Grumman is manufacturing the most advanced microwave- and millimeter-wave technologies in the world. We produce more than 1 million U.S.-made microchips annually, driving innovation and supply chain resilience on American soil.

The next era of American defense needs the best of commercial, defense and newer tech partners. We need to supplement and enhance supply chains and production outputs, together. Smart procurement reforms and continued investment in scaled manufacturing capacity will generate results: faster development cycles, cost-effective production, and continued strategic deterrence against any adversary.

We are the experienced partner the United States needs to design and develop the capabilities our defense needs. We are committed to operational excellence through technology that’s built to last and designed to perform in extreme conditions: in space, under the sea, behind enemy lines, and always oriented to safeguard the U.S. and our allies. From the most advanced survivable airborne communications links to ensure connectivity, to constellations of satellites protecting the U.S. in every orbit, we develop the world’s most sophisticated communications, astrophysics, and defense systems.

And we are never satisfied with the status quo. Our fully digital development environment streamlines our processes. It compresses timelines, reduces cost, and stress-tests systems virtually before a single component is manufactured. And as a result, we’re developing the technologies that define modern warfare are designed to ensure American forces maintain the advantage in any domain—today and tomorrow.
