Northrop Grumman Corp /de/

A global aerospace and defense company that builds some of the world's most advanced military aircraft, including the B-21 Raider stealth bomber, the F-35's fuselage, and surveillance drones like Global Hawk, alongside satellites and missile-defense systems used by the U.S. government. It grew out of the legacies of two aviation pioneers, Jack Northrop and Leroy Grumman, whose companies merged in 1994. The B-21's "Raider" name honors the World War II Doolittle Raiders who bombed Tokyo in 1942.
