Northrop Grumman Corporation (NYSE: NOC) has opened their newest building in Longbow Park in Boulder, Colorado, to support the growth of the firm’s Overhead Persistent Infrared Exploitation (OPIR) and Advanced Mission Systems (AMS) programs. The expansion increases the company’s footprint in Colorado with added capabilities to help protect the nation and its allies.

With more than 400 employees currently on the campus, the new building includes a 23,680 square foot addition to the campus. The facility features a radio frequency research lab, includes green initiatives and gives Northrop Grumman added flexibility for future growth.
