20 Dezembro 2021 - 11:00AM
The Northrop Grumman Corporation (NYSE: NOC) and Raytheon
Technologies Next Generation Interceptor (NGI) team has completed
its System Requirements Review (SRR) and is proceeding with initial
system design, further risk reduction testing, and critical
component qualification activities.
The Missile Defense Agency (MDA) approved the SRR, which was
completed ahead of schedule, and is the first major technical
review for the Northrop Grumman and Raytheon Technologies NGI
homeland defense interceptor program. This achievement comes after
Northrop Grumman and Raytheon Technologies demonstrated its NGI
Common Software Factory, which enables rapid development,
integration and delivery in a DevSecOps environment.
“We’re leveraging our two decades of performance on the current
Ground-Based Interceptor (GBI),” said Scott Lehr, vice president
and general manager, launch and missile defense systems, Northrop
Grumman. “With our combined workforce, extensive expertise and
state-of-the-art facilities, we will deliver a highly capable new
interceptor that will protect our nation against long-range missile
threats for decades to come.”
The Northrop Grumman and Raytheon Technologies team is
leveraging high-fidelity model-based systems engineering, and
hardware manufacturing in customer-certified facilities. The team
is also conducting internally-funded risk reduction hardware
development and testing to ensure deployment of NGI in the rapid
timeline the nation requires.
“Raytheon is the nation’s provider of kill vehicle payloads that
maneuver in space to destroy missile threats, with 47 successful
exo-atmospheric intercepts achieved to date,” said Tay Fitzgerald,
vice president of Strategic Missile Defense, Raytheon Missiles
& Defense. “Our digital system design approach gives us high
confidence in our solution going into the preliminary design
review.”
The Northrop Grumman-led NGI team brings flight-proven missile
defense experience to the NGI program, including expertise in:
ground systems, battle management, command and control, interceptor
boost vehicles, kill vehicles, agile processes and certified
manufacturing capabilities. The team is committed to delivering a
highly capable, affordable and low-risk NGI solution that meets the
customer’s schedule and mission requirements.
