Northrop realigns ISR&TS division
Northrop Grumman has realigned its Intelligence, Surveillance, Reconnaissance and Targeting Systems (ISR&TS) division to focus on its airborne and space ISR business.
The realignment, which was announced on 30 March, split the division into two: Space ISR systems and Airborne ISR and Targeting Systems.
Joseph Ensor has been appointed vice president and general manager of the Space ISR Systems division, with executive responsibility for all division programmes and operations in Maryland, California and Colorado.

Michael Hinkey has been named vice president and general manager of the Airborne ISR and Targeting Systems division with executive responsibility for all division programmes and operations in Maryland and Illinois.

Gloria Flach, corporate vice president and president, Northrop Grumman Electronic Systems, said: 'This strategic realignment of our ISR business activities will better position the company for a broad and exciting portfolio of future growth opportunities in both the airborne and space domains.
'Ensuring the success of our airborne and space ISR customers' programmes is of critical importance to the nation and the company. Both of these divisions will continue our imperative to enhance future performance, innovation and affordability for our customers.'
