Northrop Grumman in Europe
Northrop Grumman is among the leading defence and security suppliers
in Europe with more than 2,200 employees and significant
long-established businesses in the U.K. France, Germany, Italy, and the
Netherlands. We offer the best of our U.S. and European R&D and
technology to deliver solutions that help solve our customers' defence
and security challenges. Calling on our global experience and 100-year
European heritage, we provide everything from satellite payloads, to
maritime command and control systems, synthetic training, special
mission aircraft, land vehicle maintenance, repair and overhaul,
unmanned air systems, tactical communications and much more for our
European customers.
We may not always be visible, but Northrop Grumman's technology is
all pervasive, as is our commitment to building strong European
businesses to serve our customers for the long-term.
Never before has there been a more complex threat environment. As we
look forward, the defence and security landscape is characterised by
interconnectivity, interoperability, networked environments, pervasive
ISR and the widespread use of unmanned systems. The key for the future
is having the ability to be 'eyes on' through access to high grade
intelligence, comprehensive surveillance capabilities, and the ability
to convert data to information rapidly and seamlessly, and disseminate
it to armed forces, national agencies, and other international
partners.
Northrop Grumman is involved in a range of future game-changing defence and security programmes. Whether this is as a partner in the F-35 Lightning II
providing the aircraft with much of its situational awareness and
communications, as a leading specialist in large intelligence datasets,
as a pre-eminent provider of High Altitude Long Endurance unmanned air systems, or as the natural 'go to' provider for truly open system architectures for battlespace networks, communications, and command and control, Northrop Grumman has an unparalleled reputation as an innovator.
Today, different thinking is needed to deliver the required defence
and security effect at minimum cost. Northrop Grumman is at the
forefront of providing that different thinking: from creating dynamic
communications nodes in the sky, using lasers to defeat ground-to-air
threats and pulling through leading innovative aircraft radar
technologies into ground-based air defence systems, to exploiting
networks in cities for blue light service command and control, and
taking unmanned air systems to un-paralleled levels with the world's
first carrier-borne UCAV.
With our strong focus on cyber, C4ISR, unmanned systems, and logistics and modernisation we are well placed to meet the evolving capability requirements of our customers.
