Defence Requires Different Thinking

Today, different thinking is needed to deliver the required defence and security effect. 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 putting leading innovative aircraft radar technologies into ground-based air defence systems and taking unmanned air systems to unparalleled levels with the world's first carrier-borne UCAV.

With our focus on cyber, unmanned systems, and logistics and modernisation, we meet the evolving capability requirements of our customers.

AARGM

Advanced Anti-Radiation Guided Missile (AARGM) is a supersonic, medium-range, air-launched tactical missile designed to engage and destroy enemy air defenses and time-critical, mobile targets. AARGM is integrated in the German and Italian Air Force’s Tornado Electronic Combat and Reconnaissance aircraft.

Northrop Grumman’s next generation AARGM Extended Range (AARGM-ER) program, for the U.S. Navy, is building upon AARGM, and currently in production.

F-35 Lightning II

More than any aircraft that has gone before, the game-changing F-35 Lightning II is designed to be a node in the combat environment. The halo of connectivity that it provides ensures its ISTAR collector, strike, and ground support capabilities are second to none.

As a principal partner for the F-35 not only do we provide much of the aircraft’s situational awareness, but also through our provision of the aircraft’s communications and battlespace networks capability, no-one is better placed to integrate F-35 into the battlespace.
