Strike

 
The ability to project air power tactically or strategically anywhere in the world is an essential tenet of U.S. military doctrine. As a leader in integrated strike systems, Northrop Grumman brings world-class capabilities in system design, air vehicle design, flight controls, vehicle management systems, network-enabling technologies and survivability. The company's experience includes design, production and support of the world's only long-range, large payload aircraft that can penetrate deep into protected airspace, the B-2 stealth bomber, and key teaming positions on the F-35 Lightning II Joint Strike Fighter and F/A-18 Super Hornet. Northrop Grumman is also working on technologies the U.S. Navy may apply as it pursues unmanned strike capabilities in its Unmanned Combat Air System (UCAS) demonstration program.
