Dear Fellow Shareholders In 2019, we delivered strong financial results while remaining steadfast in our dedication to performance and positioning Northrop Grumman for the future. In addition, we successfully integrated Orbital ATK in its first full year of operations within our company. We executed a profitable growth strategy for our company, to include launching domain-focused campaigns that leverage the power of our diverse portfolio and align our offerings with our customers’ current and emerging needs. We focused on areas such as space, cyber, strategic missiles and all- domain command and control—areas that are the highest priorities of our global customers. These campaigns laid the groundwork for the organization changes to our operating sectors, which we announced in September. Our new sector structure brings together pieces of our businesses that have shared markets, customers and technologies. It improves our ability to rapidly bring new solutions to our customers and strengthens our program performance. Our new structure became effective at the beginning of 2020 and, simultaneously, we introduced our new “Defining Possible” brand to reinforce the value we’re providing, through performance, agility and innovation. 2019 Financial Performance Sales rose 12 percent and operating income increased 5 percent, reflecting a full year of Orbital ATK contribution and continued growth at our Aerospace Systems and Mission Systems sectors. The integration of the Orbital ATK acquisition has been very successful. We exceeded our cost synergy targets and these savings contributed to improved performance. All four of our businesses were more profitable in 2019 and together generated a 13 percent increase in segment operating income* and an 11.6 percent segment operating margin rate.* Our segment operating income* grew more than sales, demonstrating that cost reductions and program performance offset a business mix including a higher amount of development efforts as we began work on new programs. In addition to performing well on our current portfolio of programs, we captured more than $45 billion in new business. Our total backlog increased 21 percent, to nearly $65 billion. All four of our sectors generated double-digit increases in their total backlogs. Our business capture reflects strong alignment between our capabilities and our customers’ priority investment areas, as well as the rapid capture of Orbital ATK revenue synergies. These new awards are the foundation for continued profitable growth. Our backlog has increased more than 50 percent since the end of 2017, reflecting robust new awards and the addition of Orbital ATK. NORTHROP GRUMMAN 2019 ANNUAL REPORT In 2019 we also had strong cash generation. Our businesses delivered $4.3 billion in operating cash and our free cash flow* increased 18 percent to more than $3.0 billion. Our strong cash generation has continued to enable value-creating capital deployment. We invested $1.3 billion in capital expenditures to drive innovation and affordability for our customers. We reduced debt by $500 million, made voluntary contributions to our pension plans and distributed $1.6 billion to our shareholders through dividends and share repurchases. We also increased our quarterly dividend 10 percent and reduced our weighted average share count by 3 percent. Positioning for the Future Our new organizational structure more closely aligns our capabilities with our customers’ priority investment areas, as defined by the National Defense Strategy. This realignment is the next step in maximizing the powerful revenue synergy opportunity we envisioned from our combination with Orbital ATK. Our new structure is designed to accelerate our ability to rapidly identify and deliver the technologies, products and services that our customers need. Effective January 1, 2020, our new sectors are Aeronautics Systems, Defense Systems, Mission Systems and Space Systems. Defining Possible We introduced our new “Defining Possible” brand to reinforce the value we are providing through performance, agility and innovation. Defining what is possible is our purpose, and discovery and innovation are at the heart of everything we do. Whether it’s an autonomous submarine that detects mines without putting lives at risk, digital walls that protect physical structures, the world’s first stealth bomber or the universe’s most powerful space telescope, we are driven to solve the toughest challenges. We show our customers what is possible through a performance framework and a culture that balances agility and affordability with quality and safety. The new brand will also help us attract and retain the talent we need to continue to fuel our business. We are showing the solutions we’re developing and the real employees who are doing it, to help promote our purpose and our unique culture by showing how we bring together people from many backgrounds, personal passions and disciplines to push the boundaries in science, technology and engineering. A Strong Culture and Sustainable Business We continue to build on our strong culture with leading environmental, social and governance practices. Maintaining the highest levels of ethics and integrity and a modern governance structure is central to ensuring we act in the best interests of our customers and our shareholders. Our integrity is the core of our reputation. We are committed to a diverse and inclusive culture where employees feel respected and are encouraged to follow their passion. We are proud that female representation on our Board of Directors has increased to more than 30 percent, and female representation on our executive leadership team has increased from 8 percent in 2010 to 58 percent in 2020. We continue to promote diversity and inclusion at all levels of the company.

    Nick: Invisibility sounds like something out of a work of Sci-Fi. However, Northrop Grumman’s B2 Spirit is just that. While the B2 is not invisible to the naked eye, it can avoid detection by radar thanks to a specially designed frame and coating that deflects and nullifies radar waves. Radar waves are sent outwards, and bounce off of features such as engines and straight wings. By altering its shape and applying radar absorbent material, the B2 is able to minimize the radar waves that can be analyzed, making the B2 almost impossible to find. On top of being a stealth plane, the B2 is a flying wing, meaning it has no fuselage or tail. The B2 is meant to be a low observable stealth plane used to penetrate anti-aircraft defenses. It can carry both conventional and thermonuclear weapons, and is a unique aircraft that can carry heavy air-to-surface weapons while also remaining in stealth. But where did this technology come from? Daryl: As soon as radar was developed during World War Two, there was a need to evade radar. Efforts were made during and after the war to counter radar, and two German brothers were the first to find a solution. Walter and Reimar Horton were pilots with the German Luftwaffe, but also designed aircraft of their own. One of these was the Horton HO-229 jet, the earliest flying wing propelled by a jet, which also had radar wave absorbing material on the wings. They used a wood-carbon powder to absorb radar waves, making this the earliest stealth plane.

In role and operational design, the Global Hawk is similar to the Lockheed U-2, the venerable 1950s spy plane. It is a theater commander's asset to provide a broad overview and systematic target surveillance. For this purpose, the Global Hawk is able to provide high resolution synthetic aperture radar (SAR) – that can penetrate cloud-cover and sandstorms – and electro-optical/infrared (EO/IR) imagery at long range with long loiter times over target areas.

  • F-16 Avionics Upgrades Driven by What You Can't See
    Friday, October 7, 2016 aviationtoday.com F-16 Avionics Upgrades Driven by What You Can't See By Woodrow Bellamy III [Avionics Magazine 10-07-2016] While the F-35 is starting to enter service and is the most technologically advanced fighter jet that the military aviation community has ever seen, its predecessor, which took its first flight more than 40 years ago, is still going strong, and avionics and other structural upgrades are giving nations that can't afford the F-35 a reason to keep flying, upgrading and even purchasing the F-16. Primarily, F-16 cockpits are being upgraded with glass, and some military operators are also adding Northrop Grumman's AN/APG-83 Active Electronically-Scanned Array (AESA) radar and an upgraded mission computer. The functionality for these technologies relies heavily upon some of the components that pilots and the general public can't see and usually pay no attention to, such as aerospace grade Ethernet cables that enable high speed data transmission. Between requests for avionics upgrades from the U.S. Air Force (USAF), South Korea, Taiwan, Singapore and others, Lockheed Martin expects to upgrade 500 in- service F-16s over the next 7 years, the aerospace and defense contractor told reporters at a press conference at the 2016 Farnborough International Airshow earlier this year. Among some of the more notable surface-level technologies available for the F-16 is the F-16V configuration, which replaces electro-mechanical cockpit instruments with a center pedestal display, an upgraded mission computer, a higher capacity Ethernet databus and other options.

  • Landmark Flight Brings Program One Step Closer to Demonstrating Autonomous Aerial Refueling Between Two Unmanned Aircraft
    Photo and Video Release -- Landmark Flight Brings Program One Step Closer to Demonstrating Autonomous Aerial Refueling Between Two Unmanned Aircraft March 9, 2011 SAN DIEGO, Mar 9, 2011 (GlobeNewswire via COMTEX) -- On Jan. 21, Northrop Grumman Corporation (NYSE:NOC), Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and NASA Dryden Flight Research Center took a major step toward demonstrating autonomous aerial refueling between two unmanned, high altitude aircraft, an operation never before performed. Photos and video accompanying this release are available at: http://www.irconnect.com/noc/press/pages/news_releases.html?d=215774 In a key risk reduction flight test, Northrop Grumman's Proteus test aircraft and a NASA Global Hawk flew as close as 40 feet apart at an altitude of 45,000 feet, an industry-setting record. The flight test was conducted in the challenging high altitude environment required for refueling of high altitude long endurance (HALE) unmanned aircraft systems (UAS). Wake turbulence between the two aircraft as well as engine performance and flight control responsiveness in the stratosphere were evaluated. Simulated breakaway maneuvers were also conducted. The January flight was key to reducing risks as the program prepares for autonomous aerial refueling of two Global Hawks in the spring of 2012. "Demonstrating close formation flight of two high altitude aircraft, whether manned or unmanned, is a notable accomplishment," said Geoffrey Sommer, KQ-X program manager at Northrop Grumman Aerospace Systems sector. "When you add autonomous flight of both aircraft into the mix, as we will do later in the KQ-X program, you gain a capability that has mission applications far beyond just aerial refueling." The $33 million DARPA KQ-X program will demonstrate autonomous fuel transfer between two Global Hawks, enabling flights of up to one week endurance.
