About Northrop Grumman CORP

Northrop Grumman Corp /DE/ (ticker: NOC) is a major U.S. defense and aerospace company listed on the NYSE in the United States. For French-speaking investors, it is one of the core names in American national-security technology, with a business model heavily tied to U.S. government spending, especially the Department of Defense and the intelligence community. The company describes itself as a global provider of advanced systems, products and services across space, aeronautics, missile defense and cyberspace. Its headquarters are in Falls Church, Virginia, and it operates from more than 550 facilities across all 50 U.S. states and more than 25 countries. ([northropgrumman.com](https://www.northropgrumman.com/who-we-are/)) Northrop Grumman’s heritage is long and highly acquisitive. Its roots include Northrop Aircraft, founded in 1939, and Grumman, which was merged into the company in 1994. The modern group is the result of integrating more than 20 legacy companies, including Westinghouse, TRW and Orbital ATK, which broadened its capabilities in sensors, satellites, mission systems and solid-rocket propulsion. That history has created a deep technical moat and a business mix centered on large, complex, mission-critical programs that often run over many years. ([northropgrumman.com](https://www.northropgrumman.com/who-we-are/northrop-grumman-heritage?utm_source=openai)) Northrop Grumman is organized into four operating sectors, which are also its reportable segments: Aeronautics Systems, Defense Systems, Mission Systems and Space Systems. This structure spans combat aircraft and uncrewed platforms, radar and C4ISR solutions, missile-related systems, mission integration, and space hardware and services. Notable product and program areas include autonomous aircraft testbeds, resilient airborne navigation systems, uncrewed maritime and airborne intelligence platforms, satellite communications, advanced propulsion, and space mission technologies. The company is also highlighting AI-enabled design, autonomy software integration and next-generation test infrastructure.

The company’s revenue base is predominantly U.S. government-related, which provides long-duration visibility but also leaves it exposed to procurement cycles, program timing and federal budget priorities. Management also highlights an international footprint, with focus countries including Australia, the United Kingdom, Japan, South Korea and the Middle East.

Northrop Grumman unveiled Beacon, its autonomous testbed ecosystem, advanced MQ-4C Triton testing with the U.S. Navy, won a design contract for Protected Tactical SATCOM-Global, collaborated on AI-driven spacecraft propulsion design, and delivered the first production unit of its EGI-M navigation system designed to resist GPS jamming in April 2026. These developments underscore a portfolio focused on defense modernization, space resilience and autonomy-enabled missions.
