Northrop Grumman’s future success in the competitive defense industry depends upon its ability to develop and market its defense-related products and services to the U.S. Government, as well as its ability to provide people, technologies, facilities, equipment and financial capacity needed to deliver those products and services at maximum efficiency. The company competes with Force Protection Inc. (FRPT), General Dynamics Corporation (GD) and Boeing Company (BA).
