Delivering Advanced Weapons and Counter Weapons

Northrop Grumman is shaping the future of intelligent, effective weapons. Today’s adversarial environment changes at a rapid pace, and our job is to make sure our customers don’t just meet it – but beat it. With decades of excellence in delivering across the spectrum of effects – speed, standoff, precision, survivability – our advanced weapons solutions are already helping to give our warfighters the capacity & capability they need to destroy and degrade targets in any domain. Together with deterrent and connected systems, advanced weapons serve a critical role in delivering overmatch and closing the kill chain – deterring conflict to keep people safe and their freedoms secured.
