Northrop Grumman says U.S. chip production will quadruple by 2030 under expansion to strengthen defense semiconductor supply chains

Northrop Grumman expects expansion of its own U.S. microelectronics operations to quadruple the company's chip production by 2030. The expansion is intended to strengthen domestic supply for components used in systems such as fighter aircraft, radars and satellites and to improve supply-chain resilience for Northrop Grumman and its partners. The statement concerns Northrop Grumman's production capacity, not total U.S. semiconductor output.
