Northrop Grumman Mission Systems is among the top contractors in the missile defense arena. One of the most significant advancements in the U. S. missile defense capability is attributed to the sector's complex battle management system currently being developed for the Ground-based Midcourse Defense (GMD) portion of the U.S. missile defense program. Known as the GMD Fire Control/Communications System, this system integrates all components and guides the interceptors until their on-board sensors acquire the targets. The software coordinates sensor and interceptor operations during flight, providing vital information such as battle management displays and situation awareness data to commanders.
