We use agile processes, advanced manufacturing and digital engineering to mitigate risk and enable modern sustainment practices.
Digital Transformation
Digital Transformation is part of our culture and is foundational to how we do business.
Digital Ecosystem
Across our business, we are integrating digital technologies throughout a system’s lifecycle and making data-driven decisions with the speed, quality and efficiency our customers require.
Our digital ecosystem is enhancing how we do business. This ecosystem brings employees, customers, and suppliers into an integrated environment to seamlessly work together, share information, and innovate across the full program lifecycle.
Digital Leadership
We continually employ new digital solutions across our business that revolutionize how we design, test, and manufacture the next generation of systems. These solutions are enhancing our productivity and performance, all while maintaining the highest quality.
Digital Technologies
Speed. Quality. Efficiency.
Digital accelerates our operations and strengthens our performance. Integrated digital models of our capabilities and platforms enable a seamless design approach. We can make changes in real time and visually see those improvements reflected in the models. What once was a cycle of designing, building, prototyping, and testing a capability or platform can now be done digitally and simultaneously, providing the same high-quality solutions – only faster and more efficiently.
Digital Twin
Our digital twin rapidly evaluates system performance in ever-changing environments.
Digital Thread
Our digital thread provides the framework for continuous feedback increasing the speed of execution.
Model-Based Systems
We take Model-Based Systems Engineering further with MB(x) or Model-Based Everything.
Digital Engineering
We are applying digital engineering practices to connect the entire program lifecycle – from engineering, to supply chain, to manufacturing and production. This allows us to integrate our testing, quality, and performance evaluation earlier in the process.
This shift accelerates our design processes so that we can deliver faster and more efficiently for our customers.
Artificial Intelligence (AI)
A secure and ethical approach to developing AI-enabled solutions is a cornerstone of our mission to meet evolving customer needs. Northrop Grumman has a robust history in AI and as a technology leader, we’re at the forefront of emerging capabilities and trusted solutions. Our innovative team brings significant experience and investment to create and deliver responsible artificial intelligence and machine learning systems across land, sea, air, space and cyberspace.
AI-Enabled Operations
Northrop Grumman is applying responsible artificial intelligence and machine learning across our business and manufacturing processes to discover new insights which enable greater operational speed and improved bottom-line outcomes in a secure and ethical manner.
Using AI-enabled inspection, monitoring, and decision support algorithms throughout the product lifecycle, we are improving speed, quality and cost for our customers.
Our responsible AI ecosystem provides the tools and guidance to develop and operate robust, equitable, and human-centered AI, enabling business efficiencies across the enterprise.
As one of the Department of Defense’s most trusted partners, Northrop Grumman continues to push the boundaries of what’s possible with a commitment to deliver technology in a safe, effective and ethical way.
Advanced Manufacturing
With our advanced manufacturing technologies, Northrop Grumman can design and build anything. We are harnessing all methods of advanced manufacturing which enables our facilities the speed to design, develop and produce with the flexibility to meet our customers' needs.
Our manufacturing facilities use state-of-the-art equipment, tooling and support systems to streamline processes, enhance product delivery and increase capacity and output.
- AR/VR
- Additive Manufacturing
- Advanced Materials
- Modeling & Simulation
- Robotics & Automation
All our advanced manufacturing approaches accelerate and enhance the design, development, production, and testing process of our cutting-edge technologies and products, so we can field solutions faster than ever before.
Reality Shift
Systems Engineer Rebecca Peterson wants to bring a new reality to employees across Northrop Grumman.
The End Game
While once the stuff of science fiction, virtual and augmented reality are now accessible to just about everyone.
Automation and Robotics
Our manufacturing experience is a critical part of its success in supporting the latest in fighter aircraft.
Digital Culture: Driving a Digital Mindset
Digital transformation is part of our culture and is foundational to how we do business. Northrop Grumman employees embrace digital solutions and pioneer innovation every day to define possible. We apply Lean-Agile principles and practices to all aspects of our business and operations. We have an exceptional community of Lean-Agile talent and thought leaders who coach, mentor and model this growth mindset and are dedicated to a sustainable model for continuous improvement.
Our mission critical systems require more than just DevSecOps. Which is why, in partnership with the U.S. Air Force, we created an all-encompassing strategy called Dev*Ops (pronounced DevStarOps) to deliver capabilities to our platforms faster and more reliably. Dev*Ops achieves these goals by driving changes that deliver benefits such as faster time to delivery, improved quality and cost to the customer, and improved organizational efficiencies that increase productivity.
