U.S. Air Force Secretary Deborah Lee James and Space and Missile Systems Center Commander Lt. Gen. Samuel Greaves visited Northrop Grumman‘s Space Park facility in California to observe manufacturing and research and development operations.
Northrop said Thursday the Air Force officials received briefings on the company’s work for the service’s Low Cost Terminal, Advanced Extremely High Frequency System and Global Positioning System III programs.
“Today we face significant new threats in many domains, including space,” said tour host Tom Vice, corporate vice president and president of Northrop’s aerospace systems business.
“We value our partnership with the U.S. Air Force and today’s visit by Secretary James and Lt. Gen. Greaves was an opportunity to talk about solutions that could help solve their toughest problems.”
