Part III NORTHROP GRUMMAN CORPORATION [THIS PAGE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK] -2- NORTHROP GRUMMAN CORPORATION PART I Item 1. Business Originally formed in California in 1939, Northrop Corporation was reincorporated in Delaware in 1985. In 1994 the company purchased the outstanding common stock of Grumman Corporation and, effective May 18, 1994, Northrop Corporation was renamed Northrop Grumman Corporation (the company). On April 2, 2001, NNG, Inc., a newly formed Delaware holding company, exchanged its common shares for all of the outstanding Northrop Grumman Corporation common shares on a one-for-one basis, through a merger in which Northrop Grumman Corporation became a subsidiary of NNG, Inc. In connection with this merger, NNG, Inc. changed its name to Northrop Grumman Corporation and the former Northrop Grumman Corporation changed its name to Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation (Northrop Systems). In April 2001, the company purchased approximately 97 percent of the common stock and approximately 59 percent of the preferred stock of Litton Industries, Inc. (Litton). The company issued 13,000,000 shares of its common stock and 3,500,000 shares of its preferred stock and paid cash for the balance of the Litton shares. In May and June 2001, the company acquired all of the remaining shares of Litton common and preferred stock for cash. In November 2001, pursuant to a tender offer that expired on November 29, 2001, the company purchased approximately 80.7 percent of the outstanding shares of Newport News Shipbuilding Inc. (Newport News). For the year ended December 31, 2001, the company accounted for the remaining 19.3 percent of Newport News common shares as minority interest. On January 18, 2002, the company acquired the remaining 19.3 percent of Newport News shares not purchased in the tender offer. On December 11, 2002, the company issued 69.4 million shares in exchange for all outstanding shares of TRW Inc. The company completed the sale of TRW’s Automotive business (Auto) to The Blackstone Group on February 28, 2003. The company received approximately $4.7 billion, comprised of $3.9 billion in cash and debt retained by Auto, a $600 million payment-in-kind note and a 19.6 percent investment in the new enterprise. Cash proceeds from the sale, along with cash received from completion of the TRW acquisition will be used primarily to pay down debt. In connection with the acquisition of TRW, the company entered into a formal stipulation and consent decree (Final Judgment) with the United States Department of Justice that was filed in the U. S. District Court for the District of Columbia on December 11, 2002. Key provisions of the consent decree are intended to assure that the merger will not impede fair and open competition related to certain electronic satellite payloads. The consent decree does not require the divestiture of any businesses and will permit the company to operate its businesses and those of TRW as planned. The retained portions of TRW represent the new Mission Systems and Space Technology sectors discussed more fully herein. Additional information describing the aforementioned mergers and acquisitions is contained in the “Acquisitions” footnote to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8. The company operates in seven business sectors: Electronic Systems, Newport News, Ship Systems, Information Technology, Integrated Systems, Mission Systems and Space Technology. For financial reporting purposes the Electronic Systems, Information Technology, Integrated Systems, Mission Systems and Space Technology sectors are each reportable segments. In accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 131 – Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information , Newport News and Ship Systems results are aggregated and reported as the Ships segment. In 2002, the company decided to sell the majority of the businesses comprising its Component Technologies operating sector, and also sold two of the businesses in its Electronic Systems sector, Ruggedized Displays and Electron Devices. These businesses, Auto and the aerostructures business sold in 2000 are reported as discontinued operations. Additional information is contained in the “Dispositions and Discontinued Operations” footnote to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8.

(See photo of Leon Swirbul, William Schwendler, and Leroy Grumman on page 7) Leroy Randle (Roy) Grumman (1895-1982) earned a Bachelor of Science degree in mechanical engineering from Cornell University in 1916. He then joined the U. S. Navy and earned his pilot’s license in 1918. He was later the Managing Director of Loening Engineering Corporation, but when Loening merged with Keystone Aircraft Corporation, he and two of his friends left Loening and started their own firm — Grumman Aircraft Engineering Corporation. William T. Schwendler (1904-1978) earned a Bachelor of Science degree in mechanical engineering from New York University in 1924. He was reluctant to leave Long Island, so he chose to join Grumman and Swirbul in forming the new company. Leon A. (Jake) Swirbul (1898-1960) studied two years at Cornell University but then left to join the U.S. Marine Corps. Instrumental in the founding and early growth of Grumman, he soon became its president.

  • A Brief History of Grumman Aircraft Engineering Corporation
    APOLLO NEWS REFERENCE A BRIEF HISTORY OF GRUMMAN AIRCRAFT ENGINEERING CORPORATION Grumman has come a long way since it opened shop in a rented garage in 1930. Its six founders and fifteen employees, within a year, fulfilled their first government contract: delivery of two amphibious aircraft pontoons. Today with more than 25,000 employees in 35 Long Island plants and 25 field locations, the Corporation is involved in research, development and production programs that encompass aircraft, spacecraft, support equipment, land vehicles, surface vessels, and submersibles. The story of Grumman military aircraft begins in 1933 with the development of the FF-1 (a Navy biplane fighter) and proceeds to the Navy Intruders, the Army Mohawks and the current Navy F-14 Tomcat. The Corporation produced the Denison hydrofoil boat for the U. S. Maritime Administration, the Dolphin hydrofoil for commercial service and the PG(H) Flagstaff, a military hydrofoil. For undersea research, a Grumman research submersible, the Ben Franklin, was designed and built for the historic Gulf Stream Drift Mission. In commercial aviation, Grumman is producing the Ag-Cat for crop dusting and spraying, as well as the fan-jet Gulfstream II corporate transport, the follow-on to the Gulfstream I, of which 200 were produced. With the award of a contract from the Department of Transportation, Grumman moved ahead in a new field of passenger conveyance, the Tracked Air Cushion Vehicle (T ACRV). Wind tunnel testing has been conducted and testing is being scheduled at the Federal High Speed Ground Transportation Test Center in Pueblo, Colorado for the Grumman TACRV.

    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.

Photo: Liam Marshall TABLE OF CONTENTS Bombers / Attack Fighters Multirole Helicopters Reconnaissance / Surveillance Trainers OV-101 Enterprise Concorde Aircraft Restoration Hangar Photo: Liam Marshall BOMBERS/ATTACK The basic mission of the aircraft carrier is to project the U.S. Navy’s military strength far beyond our shores. These warships are primarily deployed to deter aggression and protect American strategic interests. Should deterrence fail, the carrier’s bombers and attack aircraft engage in vital operations to support other forces. The collection includes the 1940-designed Grumman TBM Avenger of World War II. Also on display is the Douglas A-1 Skyraider, a true workhorse of the 1950s and ‘60s, as well as the Douglas A-4 Skyhawk and Grumman A-6 Intruder, stalwarts of the Vietnam War.

  • 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.
