Northrop Grumman provides technologically advanced, innovative products, services and solutions in systems integration, defense electronics, information technology, advanced aircraft, shipbuilding, and space technology. With approximately 120, 000 employees and operations in all 50 states and 25 countries, Northrop Grumman serves U. S. and international military, government and commercial customers.

For over 40 years, Northrop Grumman Canada Corporation (NGCC) has produced high-technology electronic systems for aerospace industry, airlines, military agencies and governments around the world.

Engineering and logistics services, manufacturing and repair and overhaul are provided in advanced facilities in Toronto, Ontario and Halifax, Nova Scotia. NGCC has developed and offers continuing customer support for a broad range of advanced engineering products, including:

Inertial Navigation Systems Flat Panel AMLCD and LED Displays Flight Inspection Systems Airborne Search and Surveillance Radar Light Armoured Vehicle Electronics

The NGCC Toronto facility has recently completed the Critical Design Review of the advanced flat panel cockpit display system upgrade for the Canadian Forces and Royal Australian Air Force F/A-18 aircraft. The company is well along the way in the development and demonstration of the Electronically Controlled Active Suspension Systems (ECASS), which dramatically improves the maneuvering and cross country performance of wheeled and tracked vehicles. Thereby, resulting in highly-mobile, stable platforms from which weapons can be fired and both troops and vital supplies transported to the front lines. The Toronto facility also houses the only full service Carousel IV depot- level repair and overhaul facility in the world.

First-to-third levels of maintenance in support of the CP-140 Aurora Maritime Patrol Aircraft are provided at avionics test, repair and overhaul centre in Halifax. NGCC is responsible for life cycle support of the advanced avionics and mission systems used on-board the CP-140 aircraft and systems engineering for several major CP-140 modernization projects. Through its part in the Optimized Weapon Systems Process, the company continues to deliver customer focused solutions aimed at maximizing the effectiveness of the Canadian Forces.

NGCC has recently teamed with GD Canada to offer an Intermediate Level Maintenance Facility for the MHP Integrated Mission System. This Halifax, Nova Scotia facility is just minutes away from the MHP's main operating base at Shearwater. In addition to repair capabilities, it will also offer specialty engineering services to work with GDC and Sikorsky on the airworthiness and proof of compliance programs for the H-92 helicopter proposed for MHP.

Furthermore, the facility is a center of excellence for the manufacture and overhaul of airborne maritime surveillance radar products and turret electronics for Light Armoured Vehicles.

Northrop Grumman Canada Corporation is ISO 9001 certified, a Lockheed Martin Star Supplier and a Boeing Preferred Bronze Supplier.
