Poland's strategic position at the crossroads of Eastern and Western Europe requires a robust national defense to keep the country and its citizens safe. Northrop Grumman is proud to partner with the Polish government to help modernize its defense capabilities.
We understand the need and associated requirements to field systems and capabilities that provide a combined forces approach to defense and are interoperable with NATO and allies. And we stand ready to help build sovereign defense capabilities through our partnerships with Polish companies, technology transfer activities and support to the Polish industrial base.
We are committed to Poland for the long-term. Our company and its employees stand ready to support not just Poland's national security efforts, but also be part of its economy and community.
