Northrop Grumman is the American aerospace and defense company that makes aircraft, uncrewed systems, spacecraft and mission systems, and in this atlas it is the make under which the company's own vehicles appear from 1994 onward. It was formed in 1994 through the merger of Northrop Corporation and Grumman Aerospace, so the earlier Northrop and Grumman types sit under their own makes. Its Aeronautics Systems division develops the B-21 Raider strategic bomber and the MQ-4C Triton uncrewed aerial vehicle, and builds the B-2 Spirit and Grumman E-2 Hawkeye that it inherited, while its space systems division develops the Cygnus uncrewed spacecraft and motors for the NASA Space Launch System. The company is headquartered in West Falls Church, Virginia, ranks as the fifth-largest contractor of the United States federal government, and has won the Collier Trophy nine times with its industry partners, including for the James Webb Space Telescope.
