In October 2026, Northrop Grumman announced its FORTITUDE chip, a tiny gallium nitride device (about the size of a grain of rice) that processes a wide range of the electromagnetic spectrum on a single chip. It delivers three times more power and 20 times better signal quality than alternatives, and is intended for satellites, radar, GPS, electronic warfare, and future 6G systems, replacing dozens of separate parts to reduce weight and power use.
Northrop Grumman received a $66 million order for its MQ-4C Triton, a large unmanned drone used for long-range maritime surveillance. The order covers upgrades and long-term maintenance support for the existing fleet.
