Northrop Grumman is a leading global aerospace and defense technology company that designs, develops, produces and sustains military aircraft, missile systems, advanced sensors, command and control systems, satellites and related defense technologies. The company serves primarily the U.S. Department of Defense and intelligence community through four operating segments—Aeronautics Systems, Defense Systems, Mission Systems, and Space Systems—delivering products ranging from stealth aircraft and long-range strike systems to radar, electronic warfare systems, satellites and space launch capabilities. The company generates revenue through long-term government contracts structured as either cost-plus arrangements or fixed-price agreements, with international defense customers representing a secondary but growing market, and maintains a substantial backlog supporting long-term revenue visibility.
