Northrop Grumman opens Poland office
Northrop Grumman has opened a new facility in Warsaw, Poland, the company announced on 21 November.
Poland became Northrop Grumman’s first international customer for the Integrated Air and Missile Defense (IAMD) Battle Command System (IBCS) as part of its WISLA air and missile defence programme in March.
The in-country site will enhance progress on the WISLA medium-range air and missile defence programme and other efforts with Poland’s government and industries, and will serve as the company’s Poland headquarters.
Dan Verwiel, vice president and general manager, missile defense and protective systems, Northrop Grumman, said: ‘Northrop Grumman brings a wide array of capabilities that can help sustain enduring security to Poland and the rest of Europe. IBCS will deliver the most advanced and capable C4I system for IAMD in Poland and we look forward to supporting Poland and our European allies in the future with industry leading solutions.’
