LIFT Off Webinar presented by Northrop Grumman

Join LIFT for an exclusive discussion exploring how Northrop Grumman is helping propel American hypersonics from concept to capability through advanced manufacturing, engineering expertise, and next-generation propulsion technologies. Attendees will gain insight into the company’s decades-long investment in tactical rocket motors, proprietary propellant development, and hypersonic propulsion systems that are shaping the future of rapid-response defense technologies.

The conversation will also spotlight the company’s state-of-the-art Hypersonics Capability Center (HCC) in Elkton, Maryland — the first U.S. facility purpose-built for manufacturing air-breathing propulsion systems, including hypersonic scramjet propulsion. Designed to support the growing demands of the U.S. Department of Defense, the HCC represents a major advancement in scalable, cost-effective hypersonic propulsion manufacturing.

This webinar will provide a deeper look into the innovation, manufacturing strategy, and collaboration required to make hypersonics possible while addressing the opportunities and challenges facing the industry today.
