Northrop Grumman opens new integration facility to boost space ground system capabilities

By Defence Industry Europe

Northrop Grumman has opened a new 100,000-square-foot integration facility aimed at accelerating the delivery of ground system technologies for U.S. and allied military operations. These systems are designed to operate in complex, often remote environments, where rapid access to mission-critical data is essential despite limited connectivity.

 

The advanced ground technologies support a wide range of operations including space surveillance, missile warning and defence, satellite control, and real-time data processing. These capabilities ensure warfighters receive accurate information swiftly, enabling decisive action under any mission condition.

 

 

Murali Krishnan, vice president of payload and ground systems at Northrop Grumman, stated: “Northrop Grumman’s Highfield Integration Facility adds to our existing one million square feet of Colorado infrastructure and further enables our production of innovative ground systems that provide the Department of Defense and intelligence communities with any data, at any place, at any time, for any mission.” He added, “This is another proof point in how the company continues to scale facilities across the U.S. to drive innovation at unprecedented speeds.”

 

 

The new facility enhances Northrop Grumman’s ability to develop fixed and mobile ground system solutions that serve the tactical edge—where forces rely on resilient technologies to execute operations with speed and precision. This expansion reflects the company’s commitment to meeting defence demands through scalable, mission-focused infrastructure.
