Northrop Grumman Space Technology keeps America alert with systems that give the nation's monitoring capabilities a global reach.

Defense Support Program (DSP)
The Northrop Grumman-built Defense Support Program (DSP) satellites have been the spaceborne segment of NORAD's Tactical Warning and Attack Assessment system since 1970. Using infrared detectors that sense the heat from missile plumes against the earth background, these orbiting sentries detect, characterize and report ballistic missile launches; they also see nuclear detonations.     Read More
