Advanced Composite Structures
Focused on performance, reduced cost and lead time, our advanced manufacturing processes produce the highest quality of aerostructures.
Space Systems Additive Manufacturing
Northrop Grumman has been defining possible with space additive manufacturing for more than 20 years, leveraging diverse processes and metallic materials, offering significant advantages.
LR-450 Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU)
The LR-450 incorporates Northrop Grumman’s milli-HRG™ (mHRG™) Precision Space Gyroscope, which uses the same critical quartz components — high-Q resonator and inner electrode assembly — employed in Northrop Grumman’s proven hemispherical resonator gyroscope (HRG) technology. The HRG has achieved more than 70 million error-free hours in space missions.
