Northrop Grumman

Have you guys heard of this company? I was just looking through Laser Focus World and found them. Wow, what I would do to get my hands on some of their laser equipment. Just seeing if anyone has anything from them? It looks like it would cost a fortune. I can't post links yet so just look up "Northrop Grumman" on google :'(.

They are a huge US defense contractor, that's why they get the good lasers.

What frothy said.

I work at a big aerospace company and we deal with them all the time. Northrop is actually the main builder of the Airborne laser (ABL), which is a chemical Oxygen Iodine laser that packs a SERIOUS (think Megawatts) punch. It's meant to shoot down missiles and things of that nature

I live in Md. and work in DC, N.G. is big around here. they make BIG BIG lasers.. like chemical lasers with MAJOR output.. some of the chemical lasers are as big as a Transit bus.
