HOMELAND SECURITY
Unfortunately, our nation is not immune to natural disasters, terrorist attacks or infectious diseases. But we can prepare for these unexpected events. Northrop Grumman's advanced detection systems constantly scan air, land, sea and space for potential peril. And through our partnership with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, we minimize the threat of outbreaks and ensure that doctors always have the information necessary for immediate and resolute action.
Overview
Through our partnerships with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, other health organizations and homeland defense agencies, we're safeguarding the United States from threats domestically.

HEALTH
Safeguarding the public health
As the world we live in becomes smaller, health threats can cross our borders and reach us more easily. Protecting the health and well-being of the public is a critical priority for Northrop Grumman. We've partnered with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) as its largest IT contractor to help preserve public health.
Our IT health solutions do more than just increase efficiency — they help protect human life. We assist the CDC with emergency preparedness and response to prevent outbreaks and act swiftly should one occur. We also provide doctors and health practitioners with instant, error-free data, enabling them to make the most informed decisions possible in caring for their patients. And we’re helping consumers take greater control over their own health decisions with immediate, secure access to their own records.

- Drug discovery and research support
- Enhanced healthcare delivery
- Improved performance and quality
- Better public health through assessments and alerts
