Northrop Grumman is a major U.S. defense prime contractor with classified programs spanning stealth aircraft (B-2, B-21), space systems, and advanced electronics.
UAP Records Investigation
In June 2026, Rep. eric-burlison expanded his contractor-side UAP records investigation to include Northrop Grumman alongside rand-corporation, mitre, aerospace-corporation, and mit-lincoln-laboratory (src-thehill-burlison-private-labs-2026-06). Northrop Grumman was previously named in Burlison’s MITRE interrogatories as part of the broader ffrdc-and-contractor roster suspected of holding UAP-related records.
Burlison’s underlying argument: classified UAP materials have been deliberately compartmentalized into private contractors to evade congressional FOIA and oversight authority.
