Northrop Grumman’s classified satellite program was canceled due to budget constraints, reducing its unfunded backlog by $1.6 billion. This program, intended for the Space Force, was terminated as the Pentagon shifts towards smaller, cheaper satellites. The company also lost a competition to develop the Missile Defense Agency’s interceptor to Lockheed. However, Northrop is still working on the Sentinel program for intercontinental ballistic missiles, which is being reassessed under the Nunn-McCurdy Act. Northrop remains confident that the program will be recertified. In other news, the company did not win the CCA contract but remains open to future opportunities in the program.
