Northrop Grumman (NYSE:NOC) broke ground on a new building at its expansive Roy Innovation Center (RIC), the central campus tailor-made to develop the U.S. Air Force Sentinel Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) program and other critical aerospace and defense missions. Northrop Grumman’s investment to expand the footprint of the Sentinel program will create hundreds of new jobs and supports the accelerated timeline to deliver Sentinel initial capability to the U.S. Air Force by the early 2030s while enabling long-term growth across multiple national security programs.  

The new addition brings the RIC campus to a total of six state-of-the-art buildings and more than 1.1 million square feet of office space, providing capacity for more than 5,000 employees supporting strategic deterrence and advanced aerospace programs. Construction of the new Legacy Building begins this summer and will be completed by 2028.
