Global Climate Watch
Defining the Future of Environmental Observation: From cyclones and severe storms to volcanic activity and wildfires, improved forecasts made possible through space-based weather and climate observation can have a significant impact on protecting lives, property and the environment. Northrop Grumman has the talent and technological resources to help mitigate climate change by providing the environmental information solutions that will help the nation and potentially the planet.

Most long-term environmental change slips into our lives unnoticed. Then comes the shock of recognition: the rainy season is longer, the trees are blooming earlier, what were once freak storms have become routine. What's going on here? When did this happen?Most long-term environmental change slips into our lives unnoticed.

Earth's climate is regulated, in part, by atmospheric chemicals. The complex interactions of these gases, both naturally occurring or human-made, may be contributing to global change. Until we know the long-term effects of industrial emissions and such natural phenomena as volcanic eruptions, we can only guess their impact. We may presume damage where there is none; we may overlook subtle hazards.

NPOESS, the nation’s next-generation environmental monitoring satellite system, will serve civil, military and scientific communities with higher accuracy data than available before. A constellation of polar-orbiting spacecraft will gather global environmental information and speed it to weather forecasters, military commanders, civilian leaders and scientists worldwide.

We have decades of experience as both an instrument developer and a systems prime contractor integrating highly reliable sensors.
