DAWN Spacecraft: Uncovering the Relics of the Early Solar System

By Kelly McSweeney NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory's (JPL) DAWN spacecraft, designed and built by Northrop Grumman, operated successfully for over 11 years before its final decommission in November 2018. In 2011, the probe observed the giant asteroid Vesta, followed by the dwarf planet Ceres, both located in the main asteroid…

Deep Learning Technologies Will Change How We Process Data

If you ask Will Chambers, deep learning technologies are the linchpin that will change the way Northrop Grumman's customers process data into actionable information. "If you have enough data, these algorithms will outperform most state-of-the-art approaches," says Chambers, a Northrop Grumman research and development engineer. "And that's tremendously important for…

Defense AI Technology Worlds Apart From Commercial AI

Northrop Grumman engineers working in Defense Artificial Intelligence technology operate on smaller data sets in less well-defined environments to enable warfighters to make faster, better-informed, ethical decisions.

Defense Support Program (DSP)

The Northrop Grumman-built Defense Support Program (DSP) satellites have been the spaceborne segment of NORAD's Tactical Warning and Attack Assessment system since 1970. Using infrared detectors that sense the heat from missile plumes against the earth background, these orbiting sentries detect, characterize and report ballistic missile launches; they also see…
