Northrop Grumman, NCSIST sign MOU to collaborate on air and missile defense capabilities

Northrop Grumman Corporation and the National Chung-Shan Institute of Science and Technology (NCSIST) signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to explore collaboration on air and missile defense modernization for the Taiwan Ministry of National Defense.

NCSIST is Taiwan’s primary institution for research and development in national defense technologies and focuses on the development, manufacturing and sale of defense technology to strengthen Taiwan’s self-reliant defense capabilities.

“At Northrop Grumman, we understand the crucial role of air and missile defense for Taiwan,” says Jeremy Knupp, vice president of global command and control systems, Northrop Grumman. “By leveraging our experience on programs such as the Integrated Battle Command System, which is the U.S. Army’s program of record for air and missile defense modernization, and NCSIST’s defense technology expertise, we're confident our joint efforts will help strengthen Taiwan's readiness to address evolving threats.”
