About Northrop Grumman
Northrop Grumman is one of the largest US defense contractors. It builds bombers, satellites, missile defense systems, and autonomous aircraft, earning revenue from long-term government programs.
AI is embedded across those platforms. Autonomous Systems AI flies its unmanned aircraft, IBCS Battle Command connects sensors and shooters into one AI-assisted air and missile defense picture, Cyber AI Defense protects networks, and Space AI Satellites bring onboard intelligence to orbital systems.
Founded in 1994 and headquartered in Falls Church, Virginia, Northrop Grumman trades on the NYSE and employs about 95,000 people under CEO Kathy Warden.

Supercycle gives it an AI Exposure Score of 15 out of 100.
