It complemented the geosynchronous Defense Support Program, the Space-Based Infrared System, and other overhead non-imaging infrared (ONIR) systems [15] [16] and provided tracking cues to systems on the surface. The STSS program was developed in phases, the first of which was the launch of two demonstrator satellites.
First Global Hawk Block 40 UAVs destined for the NATO AGS program rolled off Northrop Grumman production line in Palmdale, California on 4 June 2015. [ 3 ] [ 5 ] [ 6 ] One arrived at Edwards Air Force Base on December 19, 2015 completing its first flight [ 7 ] and the rest stayed in plant 42 located in Palmdale.
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 ...
That sounds good, until you realize that at a $73.9 billion market capitalization, it means Northrop Grumman stock currently costs nearly 30 times this year's free cash flow -- which seems quite a ...
In August 2023, Northrop Grumman announced a further enlarged Mission B version of Cygnus, with a 1.5 m (4.9 ft) stretch to the payload module and payload mass increased to 5,000 kg (11,000 lb). This version is expected to enter service with the NG-23 mission in 2025 (the first to use the new Antares 330 launch vehicle).
In 2020, DARPA selected Northrop Grumman's subsidiary SpaceLogistics as its RSGS partner. The U.S. Naval Research Laboratory designed and developed the RSGS robotic arm with DARPA funding. The robotic arm has completed key tests and is on track to be launched to GEO in 2024 by Northrop Grumman's 3000-kilogram spacecraft . [ 2 ]
“Northrop Grumman is finding innovative ways to introduce advanced technologies in a restricted manufacturing environment today, while paving the way for sustainment processes at the depot and flight line of the future over the B-21 program life cycle.” For example, Northrop Grumman manufacturing technicians utilize augmented reality ...
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.
