Understanding the Threat Detect, Track and Discriminate Command and Control Mitigate the Threat

Understanding the Threat

Northrop Grumman plays a role at both ends of the field, a leader in advanced weapons and missile defense. This unique position offers an unrivaled understanding of the full scope of missile threats and powers our ability to stay ahead of the adversarial curve.

We provide advanced modeling and simulations that simulate the complex threats posed by our adversaries and deliver test targets that offer operationally realistic scenarios to test our nation’s missile defense capabilities and prove they will be effective in the event of an attack.

Detect, Track and Discriminate

Leveraging data analytics and multi-source fused intelligence inputs, we deliver mission capability inside our adversaries’ decision loops to provide warning of an impending attack. Our networks of advanced sensors, satellites and ground systems detect, identify and track missile threats from their earliest stages of launch through interception, providing threat discrimination algorithms and fire control support to target incoming missiles.

Our end-to-end capabilities equip the warfighter with a better view of the battlespace, providing information overmatch and enabling quicker decisions.
