Going DA/RC: A Bright Future for Battlefield Management
As a leader in digital transformation for defense, Northrop Grumman is looking to what’s next in battlefield management. The future of defense may be in a software system known as Distributed Autonomy/Responsive Control, or DA/RC. […]
Engineering Marvel: The JWST Mega Sunshield Takes its Shape
Imagine having to squeeze an enormous mirror and a sunshield that’s the size of a tennis court into a rocket ship. This is the reality of an intricate deployment process engineers have incorporated into the construction of the James Webb Space Telescope. […]
Applying AI to Systems Thinking: Every Engineer Has a Story
Everyone has a story to tell, even engineers and systems they build. While there’s no surprise that it’s complex work to design intricate and integrated systems and structures, many may not see that as elements of a bigger picture story. […]
Navigating the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope
The team behind Northrop Grumman’s Scalable Space Inertial Reference Unit navigation system is working to make sure the Roman Space Telescope can stabilize and point in the right direction, even when it’s extremely far from home for many years. […]
Can Artificial Intelligence Apply Gaming to Military Strategy?
DARPA awarded the Gamebreaker contract to Northrop Grumman in May 2020 and now Erin Cherry, Ryan McKendrick and Bradley Feest and other colleagues are using AI models to discover the edge found in a game.
