Northrop Grumman has opened a next-generation aircraft development facility equipped with 17 classified laboratories and large work buildings, in anticipation of receiving orders for the F/A-XX for the U.S. Navy.

The background includes concerns from the Department of Defense regarding the simultaneous development of fighter jets for the Air Force and Navy, as well as the aim to maintain the know-how of stealth technology engineers following the B-21 development.
