Space Systems
Northrop Grumman develops a broad range of systems at the leading edge of space, defense, and electronics technology. Building on a heritage of innovation, the company creates groundbreaking technologies and sophisticated systems that transform customer capabilities, boost the nation's security and increase scientific knowledge.
These global sentinels stand watch over the world 24/7 with early warning satellites and connect globally-dispersed military forces with space-based communications networks. We explore the universe with space telescopes and science spacecraft, and probe closer to home with space-based earth science and remote sensing platforms.
Central to our industry leadership is a preeminent group of scientists and engineers accustomed to solving the hard problems - taking on complex jobs and delivering assured capability to our customers. It is their expertise that allows us to define and develop leading edge technologies across a wide array of disciplines including avionics, sensors, optics, lasers, microelectronic processors, and spacecraft structures, power, propulsion, deployable antennas and reflectors.
And now, Northrop Grumman is transforming the battlefield with advanced laser systems and protected satellite communications, giving warfighters instant access to mission-critical information via broadband satellites, and boosting the speed of communications with increasingly capable microelectronics. These capabilities not only dramatically increase the strategic and operational responsiveness of our military forces, but also increase our ability to protect them in the field.
