Mission to Modernize US Ballistic Missiles Gains High-Tech Security
Defense technology creator Northrop Grumman Corporation is getting a leg up in security by partnering with Bechtel and Kratos Defense and Security Solutions.
The partnership adds the two into Northrop’s Ground Based Strategic Deterrent (GBSD), a United States Air Force program aimed at modernizing inter-continental ballistic missiles.
Bechtel’s responsibility is to handle system design, construction and integration, while Kratos will provide vehicle transporters such as missile transporters and payload transporters. The addition of the two groups helps support Northrop’s GBSD deadline of 2029.
Both Bechtel and Kratos use technology for better security. Bechtel focuses on infrastructure while Kratos focuses on tech systems.
The mission to protect these technologies is exceptionally important, as they are serious safety concerns. Last April, the U.S. Navy admitted that systems it relies on to mobilize, deploy and sustain forces have been targeted by cyber criminals.
