Northrop offered a "minimal" 6.1-meter (20 feet) by 3-meter (9.8 feet) design based on the Cygnus spacecraft, as well as a larger 7-meter (22.9 feet) by 4.4-meter (14.4 feet) design also based on the Cygnus, [7] [12] to the outside of which radial docking ports, body-mounted radiators (BMRs), batteries and communications antennae will be added ...
Cygnus NG-18 was the seventh Cygnus mission under the Commercial Resupply Services-2 contract. Northrop Grumman Innovation Systems confirmed on 23 February 2021 that Thales Alenia Space of Turin, Italy, will fabricate two additional Pressurized Cargo Modules (PCMs) for a pair of forthcoming Commercial Resupply Services-2 missions.
In August 2019, NASA decided to sole source its design for the Minimal Habitation Module (Habitation and Logistics Outpost, or HALO) of the Lunar Gateway to Northrop Grumman Innovation Systems, which offered a minimalist 6.1 m (20 ft) by 3 m (9.8 ft) design based directly on the Enhanced Cygnus, as well as a larger 7 m (23 ft) by 4.4 m (14 ft ...
Defense contractor Northrop Grumman this week announced that its new AN/AAQ-37 Electro-Optical Distributed Aperture System (DAS) has successfully demonstrated the ability to detect hostile weapons ...
Naval Weapons Industrial Reserve Plant, Bethpage (NWIRP) – also known as Northrop Grumman Site Facility – was a United States government-owned, contractor-operated (GOCO) facility established in 1941, [1] with the mission to design, fabricate, and test prototype aircraft for the United States Navy and NASA in the hamlet of Bethpage within the Town of Oyster Bay, in Nassau County, New York ...
Complex systems typically have multiple redundancy to address drift, improve accuracy (ex. relative to a target) and address isolated system failure. Navigation systems therefore take multiple inputs from many different sensors, both internal to the system and/or external (ex. ground based update).
In 1999, Australia awarded Boeing Integrated Defense Systems a contract to supply four AEW&C aircraft with options for three additional aircraft. [ citation needed ] The L band (1 to 2 GHz) electronically scanned AEW and surveillance radar is located on a dorsal fin on top of the fuselage, dubbed the "top hat", and is designed for minimal ...
The three-year program was undertaken by Northrop Grumman at a contract cost of $410 million, and focused on the basic design of the radar system. Phase II is a six-year, $888 million contract awarded by the Air Force's Electronic Systems Center in May, 2004, under which the radar system is being developed, tested and integrated.
