  • Not good performance in the integrated systems. The company should work on all three sectors alike.

  • The company depends heavily on the US demands and aerospace and defense sector. With already a good brand establishment in Japan and Europe, the company should also promote the products and services in other countries.

    B-21 Bomber. The B-21 Raider will be capable of penetrating the toughest defenses to deliver precision strikes anywhere in the world. We are providing America’s warfighters with an advanced aircraft offering a unique combination of range, payload, and survivability. As stated by the Secretary of Defense, the B-21 Raider "will support America's defense strategy by forming the backbone of the Air Force's future strike and deterrent capabilities." The program will play a vital role for national security.

  • Industry jargon and keywords with definitions.

    Networking Profile

  • Mission statement & values and motto or slogan.

    Photonics. Booth 1306 January 31- Febuary 2, 2017 San Francisco, Ca

  • Volunteer associations and events.

    The Northrop Grumman Foundation Matching Gifts For Education program is an avenue that allows employees to double their contributions to qualified educational institutions.

  • Business association memberships (e.g. AICPA for accountants).

    Aerospace Industries Association, National Aeronautic Association, Space Foundation.

  • What sets the company apart from its competitors? 


    What sets Northrop apart is that they have invested a large amount of their time into unmanned jets. This is where warfare is moving, its not quite there yet but once the rest of the world catches up Northrop will already have established itself as a leader in the market.

  • Significant contracts and/or business relationships/partnerships 


    Long Range Strike Bomber (LRSB) $80-plus billion

    When it comes to defense contracts and Northrop Grumman, none is as important as the LRSB — and with an estimated price tag of $80 billion and counting, it's not hard to see why. However, the price tag is not the most important aspect of this contract: It's the fact that winning the contract solidifies the health of Northrop Grumman's most profitable business sector, aerospace systems, and allows it to stay in the game when it comes to fighter aircraft. This is because without the LRSB, Northrop Grumman wouldn't have a prime combat air force contract, which could be a problem for the company moving forward.

  • Which social media platforms are your company on and how many followers for each? 


    Instagram: 37.8k

    Facebook: 179.8k

    Dear Spencer Salzberg,
