Congratulations goes to everyone at Northrop Grumman who instrumented the largest defense contract ever.  Last Friday, Northrop Grumman Corporation announced they were selected by the U.S. Air Force to handle the new KC-45A Aerial Refueling Tanker. 

Even my father, a retiree of Northrop Grumman, is proud to hear of the award and hopes it will help the local economy where he currently lives in West Melbourne, Florida.

“Northrop Grumman’s vast expertise in aerospace design, development and systems integration will ensure our nation’s war-fighters receive the most capable and versatile tanker ever built. The Northrop Grumman KC-45A tanker will be a game changer,” said Ronald D. Sugar, Northrop Grumman Chairman and CEO.

This announcement will also provide an estimated 350 to 500 new jobs in the Melbourne area of Brevard County.  New jobs will of course encourage more new home purchases, new Florida mortgages, and overall help push our economy in Brevard County to a positive forward direction.
