Discover Northrop Grumman : Northrop Grumman Corporation

HEADQUARTERS: Los Angeles, California

AT A GLANCE: Northrop Grumman Corporation, with estimated 2003 revenues of $25-26 billion, is the nation's second largest defense contractor. Northrop Grumman provides technologically advanced, innovative products, services and solutions in systems integration, defense electronics, information technology, advanced aircraft, shipbuilding and space technology. With approximately 120,000 employees and operations in all 50 states and 25 countries, Northrop Grumman serves U.S. and international military, government and commercial customers.

MISSION: More than a decade ago, Northrop Grumman recognized that future global conflicts were unlikely to take the shape of past battles between traditional nation-states. Today, we've assembled the best-positioned portfolio of technologies and platforms in the defense industry. In doing so, we have carefully aligned our expertise to meet 21st century defense needs across the battle space spectrum: underwater, sea, land, air, space and cyberspace — and extending into homeland security. As a result, Northrop Grumman's future as a top-tier global defense industry company has never been brighter. We expect sales of $25 to $26 billion in 2003, and $28 to $29 billion in 2004. We're a member of the Fortune 500, the Forbes 100, and one of Business Week's Top Performing 50 Large Companies in America. It's a place where every decision you make can have global impact.

STANDOUT PROJECTS:
The greatest endorsement of our strategy and our expanded capabilities has come through our growing portfolio of programs. These programs represent significant potential revenues for our company, and, more importantly, technological breakthroughs critical to our nation's security.
