Northrop Grumman has opened a two-building campus outside of Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville, Ala.

“Our new lab enables us to deliver innovative solutions to our customers on rapid timelines, helping to protect and defend our nation and its allies against evolving threats,” Northrop Grumman Launch and Missile Defense Systems Vice President and General Manager Scott Lehr said. “The enhancements to the facility will also optimize operating efficiencies and provide our team with a dynamic research and development work environment.”

The campus will accommodate more than 1,000 Northrop Grumman employees in the Huntsville area and expand its launch and missile defense development capabilities. It includes an integration lab, which enables engineers to best utilize the DevSecOps methodologies to develop, test, mirror and qualify integrated systems across the Missile Defense engagement chain.

Speakers at the ribbon cutting ceremony included U.S. Rep. Dale Strong (R-AL), Huntsville Mayor Tommy Battle, Madison County Chairman Mac McCutcheon and Huntsville City Council President John Meredith, with senior military partners as well as education, civic and community organizations also in attendance.
