Digital Transformation

At Northrop Grumman, digital transformation is core to our culture and the foundation of how we innovate every day.

Digital Transformation

The Impact of Our Digital Ecosystem

Our digital ecosystem is enhancing how we do business. This ecosystem brings employees, customers, and suppliers into an integrated environment to seamlessly work together, share information, and innovate across the full program lifecycle.

From engineering to supply chain to manufacturing and production through sustainment, we’re integrating digital technologies throughout a system’s lifecycle, we’re accelerating delivery timelines and improving outcomes for our customers.

Driving Digital Leadership

Revolutionizing Design, Testing, and Manufacturing From the B-21 Raider to the Sentinel missile system, our digital solutions enhance productivity and performance while maintaining the highest standards of quality. By continually adopting new tools and approaches, we are leading the industry in delivering the next generation of advanced systems.

Harnessing Digital Technologies

Speed, Quality, and Efficiency Redefined

Through innovations like digital twins and digital threads, we streamline operations and strengthen performance. Our integrated digital models allow us to design, test, and prototype virtually—eliminating inefficiencies and accelerating time to delivery without compromising quality. See our technologies in action.

AI-Enabled Operations

From AI-enabled inspections to decision-support algorithms, we apply responsible AI across land, sea, air, space, and cyberspace to improve speed, quality, and cost. As a trusted partner to the Department of Defense, we remain committed to delivering transformative technology with the highest ethical standards.

AI-Enabled Operations

From Concept to Production Faster than Ever

At Northrop Grumman, advanced manufacturing technologies empower us to design and build anything with speed and precision. From additive manufacturing and robotics to AR/VR and advanced materials, our state-of-the-art facilities accelerate development, increase capacity, and streamline production processes.

A Culture of Digital Innovation

Empowering a Digital Mindset Across Our Teams

Digital transformation is not just about tools—it’s about people. Our Lean-Agile culture encourages employees to pioneer innovative solutions, embrace continuous improvement, and lead with a digital-first approach. In partnership with the U.S. Air Force, we’ve developed Dev*Ops (DevStarOps), a revolutionary strategy that delivers capabilities faster, with improved quality and cost-efficiency. By fostering this mindset, we drive productivity and ensure mission-critical systems are always ahead of the curve.
