We offer the most laser system design and development, packaging, platform integration, and field operations experience available in industry.  Northrop Grumman's achievements -  the first high energy laser, the first megawatt-class laser, the first laser to shoot down a missile in flight - span 30 years and continue to define the state of the art.

Our technical credentials are backed by an exceptional infrastructure -  a world-class staff, extensive research and testing facilities, and on-going corporate investments that underscore Northrop Grumman's commitment to laser systems.

Today, we are applying our expertise gained as the sole developer of megawatt-class chemical lasers to advancing solid state (electric) laser systems.  We're scaling power up, scaling system size down and developing a wide range of mission applications for tomorrow's land-, sea- , air- and space-based platforms.

As the leading developer of high energy laser defense systems, Northrop Grumman has demonstrated the revolutionary capability of this versatile technology.  From tactical to strategic missions, from threat degradation to destruction, lasers deliver defense at the speed of light with precision and low cost.
