The current phase of the HBTSS program is in protype stage and lacks operational capability. [1] The HBTSS program plans to launch two demonstration sensors into orbit by Fiscal Year (FY) 2023. [ 1 ] The Missile Defense Agency have selected two military contractors - L3Harris Technologies and Northrop Grumman - to design, build, and lastly ...
Northrop Grumman is the prime contractor for the development and integration of the Air Force's $2-billion Multi-Platform Radar Technology Insertion Program. Northrop Grumman also supports the U.S. ballistic missile program, integrates various command, control and intelligence systems, and provides technical and management services, to ...
In NASA's engineering design life cycle, design reviews are held for technical and programmatic accountability and to authorize the release of funding to a project. [10] A design review provides an in-depth assessment by an independent team of discipline experts and managers that the design (or concept) is realistic and attainable from a ...
Today, Northrop Grumman is a $70 billion defense business worth five times its price 13 years ago. Huntington Ingalls stock has performed well too, but is up a bit less than 5x in value.
In July 2019, NASA decided to sole source its design for the Minimal Habitation Module of the Lunar Gateway to Northrop Grumman Innovation Systems. [ 10 ] [ 11 ] The motivation to sole source was based on NASA's assessment that Northrop were the only existing NextSTEP-2 contractor with the designs and production capabilities to meet the module ...
Northrop Grumman retrofitted two of the HALE UAVs, so that one aircraft can pump fuel into the other while in flight via a hose-and-drogue refueling system.Several aspects of the KQ-X program were considered revolutionary, not only would the aerial refueling be autonomous, but since Global Hawks are classified as HALE UAVs, the refueling tests would occur at an altitude higher than that ...
Allegany Ballistics Laboratory (ABL) located in Rocket Center, West Virginia, is a diverse industrial complex employing some 1,000 people across 1,628 acres (6.59 km 2).The facility is a member of the Federal Laboratory Consortium and is operated by Northrop Grumman (former Alliant Techsystems) under contract with the Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA).
Technology developed for the HAWC demonstrator was used to influence the design of the HACM, a U.S. Air Force Program of Record to create a scramjet-powered hypersonic missile it could deploy as an operational weapon. [11] In December 2021, Raytheon Technologies was awarded a $985 million contract to continue its HACM development. [12]
