Securing the Future

At Northrop Grumman UK, we work with University partners to drive innovation, talent development and collaborative research. We also work with universities to support initiatives aligned to our UK business through the Northrop Grumman foundation.

“We are thrilled to be working alongside a number of universities in the UK. Not only do they give us access to fresh perspectives and emerging technologies but also introduce us to a diverse pool of bright, emerging talent which is absolutely critical for securing the future of the UK.”

Phil Dadd, Technical Director, NSS

University of Southampton

We partner with the University of Southampton working on technological advancements and developing our future workforce. We support a number of initiatives at the University, through the charitable giving from Northrop Grumman Foundation, including Future Worlds.

Future Worlds is a start-up accelerator existing to help aspiring student entrepreneurs change the world with their ideas.

We provide scholarships for the Pathways to Birmingham programme which ensures equal opportunities to young people in the UK. Alongside scholarship funding, those on the programme receive a range of benefits including mentoring, interview training and careers support.

We also provide bursaries at the University to enhance diversity in tech. This enables us to increase accessibility by removing barriers for underrepresented groups into Cyber Security, Data Science and AI and Machine Learning.

Neuromorphic Computing represents a step-change in capabilities which we believe will have significant impact over the coming years in defence and national security applications. The energy efficiency of this technology has obvious applications at-the-edge, allowing more computation to be done in-the-field but could also drastically improve the efficiency of larger scale algorithms that would be common in data centres.
