Northrop Grumman PRB Systems Inc.
4401 Belle Oaks Drive
Suite 240
Charleston SC 29405-8504


The mission of Northrop Grumman PRB Systems is to be DoD’s top system developer for battle management decision aids, and platform and weapon mission support systems. We seek to continually expand and improve our capability and capacity to:

  • Provide for the design, development, integration and life cycle support of mission support and command and control systems. These include mission support systems for platforms, weapons and sensors subsystems involved in all warfare areas.
  • Provide systems engineering support in technology areas that are related to improving the effectiveness of basic maneuver element operational capabilities.


The company has a 24-year legacy in critical warfare areas such as strike warfare; Electronic Warfare (EW); maritime surveillance; Command, Control, Communications, Computers and Intelligence (C4I); and, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (C4ISR). Our key strength is the close coupling of the operational understanding of the problems associated with warfare systems and the engineering required to translate that understanding into a delivered system. The evolution of the engineering capabilities of Northrop Grumman PRB Systems has resulted in engineering processes that enable system designs to be completed for 40% to 70% the industry’s average cost. We maintain the close coupling of operational needs and the engineering process by involving the warfighters throughout the program, beginning with system design. Over the years, we have undertaken substantial IR&D initiatives that have produced tools to facilitate this interaction without the concomitant negative impacts on program schedule and design, and ultimately, costs.

The company became a part of Northrop Grumman in August 2000 and became a part of the Integrated Systems Sector's Airborne Early Warning and Electronic Warfare Systems business area. Additionally, in April 2005, the NG PRB organization was independently assessed at a SW-CMM v1.1 Level 3 Process Maturity Level.
