Our digital twin rapidly evaluates system performance in ever-changing environments.
Digital Transformation
Powering Innovation with a Digital-First Approach
A Digital Ecosystem for Speed and Efficiency
At Northrop Grumman, digital transformation is more than a strategy—it’s the foundation of how we design, build, and sustain cutting-edge defense systems. Our integrated digital ecosystem connects customers, suppliers, and employees in a collaborative environment, streamlining operations and accelerating innovation across the entire program lifecycle.
From engineering and supply chain management to manufacturing, production, and sustainment, we embed advanced digital technologies into every phase of development. This accelerates delivery timelines, enhances quality, and drives mission success for our customers.
Revolutionizing Defense with Digital Engineering
Our commitment to digital leadership is exemplified through some of the most advanced defense programs in the world:
Driving Excellence, Agility, and Productivity
The digital ecosystem enables us to leverage technologies that streamline operations and strengthen performance through enhanced modeling defining a digital twin—a real-time replication of physical systems—in a seamlessly connected digital environment comprised of fully-integrated engineering, testing, and simulation tools. See our technologies in action.
We Build Aircraft for the Digital Age
Harnessing integrated digital technologies to modernize present day aeronautics platforms while rapidly applying digital capabilities to design, build and sustain next-generation systems at the speed of relevance.
AI-Powered Operations
We leverage AI-driven solutions to improve speed, quality, and cost across land, sea, air, space, and cyberspace. From AI-enabled inspections to decision-support algorithms, we apply responsible AI to transform defense operations while upholding the highest ethical standards.
From Concept to Production—Faster than Ever
Our state-of-the-art manufacturing technologies allow us to move from design to production with unprecedented speed and precision. Using additive manufacturing, robotics, AR/VR simulations, and advanced materials, we increase capacity, reduce costs, and accelerate development timelines.
A Culture of Continuous Innovation
Digital transformation isn’t just about technology—it’s about people. Our Lean-Agile culture empowers employees to:
- Pioneer innovative solutions
- Drive continuous improvement
- Embrace a digital-first mindset
Through partner collaboration, we’ve also developed Dev*Ops (DevStarOps), a groundbreaking strategy that enhances quality, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness in software and systems development.
Reality Shift
Systems Engineer Rebecca Peterson wants to bring a new reality to employees across Northrop Grumman.
The End Game
While once the stuff of science fiction, virtual and augmented reality are now accessible to just about everyone.
Automation and Robotics
Our manufacturing experience is a critical part of its success in supporting the latest in fighter aircraft.
Defining Possible through Digital Transformation
At Northrop Grumman, we push the boundaries of what’s possible every day. By embracing digital transformation, we deliver breakthrough innovation, unparalleled efficiency, and mission-critical reliability—today and into the future.
