Eleven days are going to one day become permanent layoffs
The pain from the first two rounds of President [Barack] Obama’s defense cuts are now being felt ... Furloughs are just the beginning.
The successful completion of the testing program was the final milestone before a planned full-rate production decision, expected later in 2013.
These flight tests demonstrate the operational effectiveness, suitability and overall mission capability of the JASSM-ER system
It's getting up to speed. It's doing very, very well at this point. Both in flight tests and production
This is emblematic of what's important about Broome County, Binghamton University, Endicott Interconnect, BAE Systems. This is intellectual capital and this community capitalizing on it
We can do it with far more survivability because of the fifth generation attributes of the airplane like stealth, like sensor fusion, which the integrated core processor gives you, which is being built here in Owego. That gives the pilot much more situational awareness than any other fighter aircraft out there today
This is the state of the art protection for our armed forces. When they are in harm’s way, this is what they want. This is the equipment every military around the globe would like

This progress is a testament to the strong industrial partnership Northrop Grumman has with Quickstep in producing the F-35 center fuselage and with the governments of Australia and New South Wales in establishing this critical composite manufacturing capability in Australia.
We are impressed by Quickstep's ability to reach these milestones less than a year after it opened its Bankstown facility
We recognize the tremendous role our international and industrial partners play on this program, and want to make sure they have an avenue to stay connected. Our audience expects transparency, and we'll use this website to deliver it.
