Twenty-five years ago, Chandra X-ray Observatory, built by Northrop Grumman, was successfully launched aboard NASA’s Columbia. Over the past twenty-five years Chandra has demonstrated what it means to pioneer exploration. Since the beginning of its mission, Chandra’s discoveries have resulted in over 11,000 scientific papers and generated over 70 trillion bytes of raw data. We are thrilled at what Chandra has accomplished so far, and we look forward to many more years of science to come! 🌌 🔭 🛰️ Learn more about Chandra here: http://ms.spr.ly/6042lVxyq #Chandra25 #NASA Cc: Center for Astrophysics | Harvard & Smithsonian

“Companies that aren’t hiring people with disabilities are missing out on a wide variety of perspectives.” I couldn’t agree more with Victoria, a member of Northrop Grumman’s University Relations and Recruiting team. From helping to lead the expansion of our neurodiversity internship program to being accepted into Disability:IN's: Early Career Talent Accelerator program, her efforts are truly advancing #disability inclusion in the workplace. Victoria said she feels like she hit the jackpot when she joined Northrop Grumman, but I think our team is the real winner! #DefiningPossible https://lnkd.in/e7Nfvrpc

When we delivered the first complete set of Integrated Battle Command System (#IBCS) major end items, we did so in step with the US Army’s modernization schedule for air and missile defense. More deliveries of this ready-now command and control system is on the way! #DefiningPossible
The Integrated Fires Mission Command Project Office, under Program Executive Office Missiles and Space, received the first complete Integrated Battle Command System delivery as part of the Low-Rate Initial Production. IBCS is the cornerstone of the Air and Missile Defense broader modernization efforts, providing transformational air and missile defense mission command with increased capabilities to the battlefield faster. "The completion of this first delivery is the result of unparalleled dedication from amazing professionals. It has been a privilege to lead a team with such a high level of skill and commitment," said Army COL Christopher Hill Sr., IFMC Project Office Project Manager. "This accomplishment is an excellent example of what we can achieve when our military, industry partners, Government civilians, and contractors successfully collaborate on our mission.” IBCS is comprised of three major end items: the Integrated Collaborative Environment, the Engagement Operation Center, and the Integrated Fire Control Network Relay. The ICE is a modular shelter that provides a collaborative environment for battlefield mission command. The EOC is an integrated fire control center that provides the engagement operations function for IBCS. The IFCN Relay performs dual functions, providing the interface for the adapted sensors and weapons and serving as a communications relay to extend battlefield operations distances. "IBCS is the critical mission command component of our Army's modernized air and missile defense capabilities. It is the cornerstone of our efforts to integrate future components and qualify the architecture within our annual Integrated Fires Test Campaign," said Army Brig. Gen. Frank Lozano, Program Executive Officer Missiles and Space. "This delivery is the result of excellent work by the entire team focused on modernizing our air and missile defense systems while getting this equipment to our Soldiers as quickly as possible." The IFMC Project Office is helping to modernize the US Army by integration, synchronization, and collaboration between all air and missile defense components. Integration efforts leverage legacy and future sensors and shooters, allowing for a single integrated air picture and coordination between fielded assets. The fusion between existing joint systems and future developmental programs with IBCS increases overall effectiveness, dramatically enhancing the ability to track, identify, engage, and defend against diverse threats. These capabilities not only help modernize the Army's AMD capabilities, but also the capabilities of our allies across the globe who modernize to the new IBCS architecture.
