Space and Technology Capabilities Enhancements

The Northrop Grumman Redstone Gateway campus will include a hardware-in-the-loop integration lab that provides a robust and resilient cutting-edge capability to Northrop Grumman and its customers. This lab creates an end-to-end environment for engineers to best utilize the DevSecOps methodologies to develop, test, mirror and qualify integrated systems across the Missile Defense engagement chain.

Company officials were joined in celebrating the space and technology enhancements by guest speakers U.S. Congressman Dale Strong (R-AL), Huntsville Mayor Tommy Battle, Madison County Chairman Mac McCutcheon and Huntsville City Council President John Meredith. Also in attendance were senior military partners as well as education, civic and community organizations.

Congressman Strong (pictured) serves on the House Science, Space, and Technology Committee. “Huntsville, known as the Rocket City, has contributed to the success of America’s space program for over six decades. The vital work done at NASA Marshall Space Flight Center plays a crucial role in the Fifth District and helps America continue to lead the space race. I look forward to promoting NASA’s mission through my position on the House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology,” he said at the time of his appointment to the committee.
