The B-2, F/A-18 and F-35 programs will remain in Palmdale, El Segundo and Redondo Beach, Calif. In addition, the company designated two Aircraft Integration Centers of Excellence, one in Palmdale, Calif. and another in St. Augustine, Fla.
Northrop Grumman’s Unmanned Systems Center of Excellence will be located at its Rancho Bernardo facility in San Diego, Calif.
