Defense Stock News Northrop (NYSE:NOC ) Grumman Wins Terahertz Contract
Defense Stock News Northrop (NYSE:NOC ) Grumman Wins Terahertz Contract
LOS ANGELES, May 19, 2009 -- The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has awarded Northrop Grumman Corporation (NYSE:NOC ) phase 1 of the $37-million Terahertz (THz) Electronics contract, U.S. Department of Defense and company officials announced today. Work on the contract will support military and space satellites with the development of active receivers and transmitters operating at 670 gigahertz that ensure reliable, high-resolution images, and other applications.
``This contract win shows that Northrop Grumman is at the leading edge of microelectronics technology capable of delivering dramatic improvements in performance and functionality for U.S. military and space systems,'' said Dwight Streit, vice president of Microelectronics Technology and Technical Development for Northrop Grumman Aerospace Systems. ``Program Manager Bill Deal, our scientists and engineers are excited about helping to ensure the reliable communications ability of U.S. satellites and the safety of our warfighters performing critical tasks across the globe.''
``The THz Electronics program will develop a technology for integrated circuits operating at far higher frequencies than ever possible before. This will be crucially important for emerging applications like terahertz communications and radars,'' said Dr. Mark Rosker, program manager of DARPA's Microsystems Technology Office. ``But of potentially even greater consequence, this program will drive the state of the art in high performance III-V electronics, with vast implication to RF circuits and systems operating at more conventional (microwave and millimeter-wave) frequencies.''
The THz Electronics program is an extension of Northrop Grumman Aerospace Systems' successful $7.7-million phase one of development on the Sub-millimeter Wave Imaging Focal Plane Technology (SWIFT) program for DARPA. SWIFT demonstrated the first active components, such as oscillators and amplifiers (low-noise and power) operating at 340 GHz, enabling systems for high-resolution imaging at sub-millimeter frequencies in all types of weather environments encountered by space and defense satellites. Work on the THz Electronics program will move even higher in frequency, starting at 650 GHz this year. As with SWIFT, the current Program will continue to be supported by the U.S. Army Research Laboratory.
Northrop Grumman Aerospace Systems recently captured a Guinness World Record(tm) for the fastest transistor based on a device that has a maximum frequency of oscillation well in excess of 1,000 GHz.
Northrop Grumman Corporation is a leading global security company whose 120,000 employees provide innovative systems, products and solutions in aerospace, electronics, information systems, shipbuilding and technical services to government and commercial customers worldwide.

DigitalGlobe Commemorates IPO, First Day of Trading on NYSE NYSE Euronext Leads Global IPO Markets in 2009, with $1.63 billion in Total Proceeds
NYSE Lists 100% of Qualified Domestic IPOs Year-To-Date
NEW YORK--May 14 2009 --DigitalGlobe,(DGI) a leading earth imaging and information company based in Longmont, Colo., today opened for trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol “DGI” after its successful initial public offering in which it raised $279.3 million in gross proceeds. DigitalGlobe is the fourth IPO by a U.S. company to list on the New York Stock Exchange this year.
“As a leading source of imagery products to government and commercial markets, DigitalGlobe is a fitting addition to the world’s leading marketplace for technology-based companies,” said Scott R. Cutler, NYSE Euronext EVP and Head of Listings, Americas. “We congratulate DigitalGlobe on the successful completion of its IPO and look forward to a beneficial and lasting partnership with the company and its shareholders.”
DigitalGlobe is the fourth domestic initial public offering to begin trading on the New York Stock Exchange this year following Mead Johnson Nutrition Company (NYSE: MJN), which raised $828 million in proceeds; Rosetta Stone (NYSE: RST), which raised $129 million in proceeds, and Bridgepoint Education (NYSE: BPI), which raised $163 million in proceeds.
Year-to-date, companies raised more capital on NYSE Euronext markets through IPOs than any other exchange in the world, with a total of $1.630 billion in proceeds from ten IPOs. The New York Stock Exchange also leads the domestic IPO market in 2009, listing 100 percent of initial public offerings qualified to list on its market.

Our products and services provide customers and end users with up-to-date and historical earth imagery, enabling them to efficiently map, monitor, analyze and navigate the physical world.

Imagery is added daily to our ImageLibrary, which currently houses over 600 million square kilometers of high resolution earth imagery, an area greater than four times the earth’s land mass.
