Northrop Grumman is a defense major with strengths in strategic and space domains. It is the prime contractor for two pillars of U.S. nuclear deterrence: the next-generation B-21 Raider stealth bomber and the land-based next-generation Sentinel ICBM.
It also builds space systems (satellites, rockets), drones, and radar and defense electronics. With heavy weight in the nuclear triad and space — long-horizon areas at the core of national security — its fortunes track closely with the federal budget.
