| Virginia fines Northrop Grumman nearly $5M for massive computer outage | -9 | 2011-05-19 00:00:00 | Then-governor Mark R. Warner (D) proposed consolidating the state’s computer operations into one agency and overhauling the system after a legislative review in 2002 found that the state’s computer system was outdated and increasingly expensive to maintain. Northrop Grumman has agreed to pay nearly $5 million for the massive government computer meltdown last summer that left several Virginia agencies unable to handle citizen requests for days. “I am satisfied that Northrop Grumman has been held accountable and that the Commonwealth has been made whole,” Duffey said. A blistering legislative audit released in 2009 found that the computer system had caused problems at almost every state agency that uses computers. The state accepted bids and selected Northrop Grumman, the giant Los Angeles-based defense company for the contract, the largest of any kind in Virginia history. | NOC | {} | 397 |
| Air Force removes senior official from job, calls for probe of ties to Northrop Grumman | -23 | 2016-02-12 00:00:00 | Richard W. Lombardi was removed as the principal deputy assistant Air Force secretary for acquisition by Air Force Secretary Deborah James, said Lt. Col. Christopher Karns, an Air Force spokesman. The Air Force has several other large contracts with Northrop Grumman, including for its $10 billion RQ-4 Global Hawk program. Randy Belote, a spokeman for Northrop Grumman, referred comment on Lombardi’s situation to the Air Force. Lombardi was replaced by Darlene Costello, another senior acquisition official in the Air Force. But he did serve as a top weapons buyer for the Air Force since May 2014. | NOC | {"Dan Lamothe Covers National Security For The Washington Post Anchors Its Military Blog Checkpoint"} | 622 |
| Northrop Grumman Realigns Sectors, Restores COO Post | -7 | None | The world’s sixth-largest defense company by revenue also reshuffled its senior management ranks, reinstating the vacant chief operating officer position. Enlarged aerospace and technical services units complete the lineup, which Northrop said would help it enhance innovation. Northrop Grumman Corp. NOC 3.88 % on Wednesday announced a restructuring plan that analysts said could lead to the U.S. defense contractor carving off its government services arm. The move wasn’t meant to signal an immediate succession plan for Chief Executive Wes Bush, according to a person familiar with the situation. An earlier version of this article incorrectly stated the company reports on Oct. 21. | NOC | {"Doug Cameron","Doug Cameron Dowjones Com"} | 795 |
| Robot used to kill Dallas shooter manufactured by Falls Church’s Northrop Grumman | -14 | 2016-07-11 00:00:00 | “This person had delusions and was committed to killing officers,” Brown said Monday. The robot, nicknamed the Mark V, is manufactured by Northrop Grumman, based in Falls Church, Va. Brown also said Johnson told police that bombs were placed around the city, but at Monday’s news conference, Brown said there was no evidence of bombs. And the robot, Brown said, suffered partial damage to the extension arm. So Police Chief David Brown did not think twice about sending in the robot to kill him. | NOC | {"Keith L","Alexander Covers Crime Courts Specifically D C Superior Court Cases For The Washington Post Alexander Was Part Of The Pulitzer Prize Winning Team That Investigated Fatal Police Shootings Across The Nation In Follow Him On Twitter Keithlalexander"} | 713 |
