Path to the pad. 🚀 Before the #Artemis II Space Launch System (SLS) and Orion spacecraft roll to the launch pad, teams have focused on a series of tests to help ensure a safe and successful crewed mission. These checks verify that that critical systems across the rocket and spacecraft are integrated, protected and communicating as expected. Set for no later than April 2026, Artemis II will send astronauts around the Moon for the first time since the Apollo missions. Learn more: https://bit.ly/44nh5uN 📸: NASA

"In May, Northrop Grumman completed two test flights of its AHT IMU aboard Stratolaunch’s reusable hypersonic aircraft, Talon-A. 'Testing the Northrop Grumman Advanced Hypersonic Technology Inertial Measurement Unit (AHT IMU) in real-world conditions at unprecedented speeds, proves we’ve developed a navigation system that makes platforms incredibly agile and nearly impossible to defend against,' stated Sam Dimashkie, director of future navigation technology at Northrop Grumman’s Research and Development organization. 'Our technology is a major leap forward in strategic capabilities, outshining anything currently available to US forces.' Following two earlier flights on a reusable hypersonic vehicle, the recent test was the third use of the same unit within six months, confirming the system’s reusability." #LetsRoc #NationalSecurity #Hypersonics https://lnkd.in/gtAe_rh8

🇺🇸🚀 RTX’s Raytheon has announced the Next-Generation Short-Range Interceptor (NGSRI), a missile positioned as the successor to the Stinger system. The NGSRI will feature a rocket motor developed with Northrop Grumman, packing fuel more densely to boost performance without increasing the motor’s size. “The rocket motor itself is a really, really fixed volume, so it is a challenge to get more range out of it, but we are getting a significant amount,” said Raytheon’s NGSRI Tech Director William Strauss.

📹 1/3 - As part of NSPA’s Next Generation Rotorcraft Capability (#NGRC), we are pleased to share the Airbus Helicopters-led consortium contribution to Concept Study 5. 🔍 Working from operational and performance attributes defined by participating Nations, Airbus assessed how potential rotorcraft concepts could meet future mission needs. 🚁 This video provides a high-level illustration supporting the analytical report delivered to Allies — contributing to the broader knowledge base used to refine requirements for the upcoming Request for Proposal. This material represents one of three independent Study 5 outputs (Airbus Helicopters – Leonardo Helicopters – Sikorsky). It does not reflect a preferred design or national selection. The programme has now opened a Pre-Qualification Assessment phase. Interested industrial partners can participate in the PQA to qualify for the RFP release in 2026.
