Technology for Conservation

Northrop Grumman’s Technology for Conservation (T4C) innovation projects are a unique way to build on the company’s emphasis of environmental sustainability, evolve our partnerships with conservation organizations and provide new opportunities for our employees to showcase their talents and pioneering spirits. Through these projects, our employees collaborate with third-party organizations to address some of the toughest conservation challenges facing our planet’s ecosystems, leverage our innovative technologies to collect data in conditions that can be harsh, remote or sensitive to human intervention and develop unique solutions to these and other conservation challenges.

Through T4C, our partners can gain access to advanced systems and engineering expertise suitable for their needs, while our employees use their technical skills to contribute to their communities and help the planet thrive. By combining the expertise of Northrop Grumman employees with the conservation organizations’ knowledge of Earth’s ecosystems, we’re able to use the best of today’s technologies to enhance and scale conservation programs.

We’re currently focused on applying our technology to address four critical areas: 

• Biodiversity Monitoring and Terrestrial Sciences
  Enhancing understanding of the complex interrelationships between ecosystems and biodiversity to protect and recover these areas.
  
  
• Marine Mammal Tracking and Ocean/Aquatic Sciences
  Assessing and monitoring marine ecosystems, species and resources, and developing strategies for their protection and recovery.
  
  
• Historic and Cultural Preservation
  Advancing scanning and digital reconstruction techniques to support the preservation of historical and cultural sites.
  
  
• Wildland Firefighting, Detection, and Monitoring
  Advancing remote sensing and data analysis to address the need for advanced wildland firefighting, prediction, and monitoring solutions.
