Introduction
In this extended essay, I will try to answer the research question “To what extent is Corporate Social Responsibility part of Arm Makers Companies? An assessment and evaluation of Raytheon’s and Northrop Grumman’s Business ethics”. Weapon companies face the issue of being socially responsible as it is a global matter. I will be mainly focusing on two companies; Raytheon and Northrop Grumman. These companies only sell weapons to the public sector, but do however provide services to private consumers. “Raytheon provides state-of-the-art electronics, mission systems integration and other capabilities in the areas of sensing; effects; and command, control, communications and intelligence systems; as well as a broad range of mission support services.” “Northrop Grumman offers an extraordinary portfolio of capabilities and technologies that enable them to deliver innovative systems and solutions for applications that range from undersea to outer space and into cyberspace.

Northrop Grumman
The Northrop Grumman Corporation is an American global aerospace and defense technology company formed by Northrop’s 1994 purchase of Grumman. The company was named as the fifth-largest defense contractor in the world in 2015. Northrop Grumman employs over 68,000 people worldwide. It reported revenues of US$25.2 billion in 2012. Northrop Grumman ranks No. 72 on the 2011 Fortune 500 list of America’s largest corporations and ranks in the top ten military-friendly employers. It is headquartered in West Falls Church, Virginia.
The US Army uses Northrop Grumman’s RQ-5 Hunter unmanned air vehicle, which has been in operational use since 1995. The U.S. Navy uses Northrop Grumman-built aerial vehicles such as the BQM-74 Chukar, RQ-4 Global Hawk based BAMS UAS, Grumman C-2 Greyhound, Grumman E-2 Hawkeye, and the EA-6B Prowler. Northrop Grumman provides major components and assemblies for different aircrafts such as F/A-18 Hornet, F/A-18/F Super Hornet and the EA-18G
The USS Antietam 's primary mission is to operate with carrier battle group five and actions of the ship affect the fleet and the safety and security of the mother carrier. The job that the ship has requires many different aspects of security. The Aegis Radar is the first part of the security, the second part of security is the weapons systems. The last part is speed, the smaller the ship is usually the faster. USS Antietam (CG-54) is a Ticonderoga-class guided missile cruiser of the United States Navy.
One piece of technology that will continue to be one of the most desired pieces of machinery that the Marine Corps continues to develop would be the AAV-7. Its implementation has improved the MAGTFs goals efficient logistics support
A Hawk 87A-3 (Kittyhawk Mk IA) serial number AK987, in a USAAF 23d Fighter Group (the former "Flying Tigers") paint scheme, at the National Museum of the United States Air Force. The P-40 Warhawk was not the best American fighter when the United States entered the World War II, but if it was the most numerous type available in large-scale production. The P-40 was among the most ubiquitous fighter plane. It was the third most-produced American fighter, after the P-51 and P-47.
Tayler Hedgecock Dr. Allen Comp 2 MWF 11 AM M1A1/2 Abrams There have been numerous inventions and advancements in war technology. One of the most recognized contraptions ever built was the armored weapon on caterpillar treads, the tank. Each country has their own designs for these famous machines, even having a main battle tank that leads in the advancements and versatility above the rest. Currently the United States of America is putting the M1A2 Abrams main battle tank into service.
In addition, AM1 Wright poses an impeccable military bearing on and off duty, setting the standard for others to follow. I highly recommend AM1 Wright for
From Leyte Gulf to Okinawa, Inchon to Chosin Reservoir, Desert Storm to Iraqi Freedom, VFA-115 has made its mark in history and has paved the way for how the military conducts itself today. With the turn of the century the squadron has proven itself and once again made history in 2002, when it was chosen as the first Navy squadron to fly the new F/A-18E and the first fleet squadron to receive the state of the art advanced Tactical Forward Looking Infrared Radiometer (FLIR). Knowing the history of VT-11 helps explain the heritage of VFA-115. Heritage The Arabs honored again as being a part of the skeleton Air Group that would break in the new super carrier, USS Kitty Hawk (CVA-63) and accompany her around Cape Horn to her new homeport, San Diego.
To build such a monumental plane, workers and designers had to construct perfect dimensions within the blueprint. High speeds have been reached along with one of the best UAV systems in military existence. First built in 1966, technological advances have improved the aircrafts performance and abilities. Interesting records and feats to mankind have been accomplished with this piece of art along with many “war stories” from the pilots who have been in the
Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II (2015) The F-35 has extremely stealth and agile technology, including an integrated sensor package and a range of advanced weaponry such as Sidewinder and Storm Shadow and Joint Direct Attack Munitions (JDAMs). The single seat fighter has high speed data networking, integrated avionics and sensor fusion which helps to combine the information from off and on board sensors. Pilot will be more aware of the situation and be better able to identify his target and deliver the weapons.
Maybe being the most famous civilian and war hero of the 20th century and still being used beyond its time after being almost 100 years old. “It has been during America’s three most recent major wars- World War II, Korea, and Vietnam” (HistoryNet 2). Not only used in war but in many other things. “It has been used as a military command post, glider, bomber, fighter, spray ship, flying laundry, post office, wire layer, flying hospital, photo reconnaissance, electronic countermeasure plane, Air Sea Rescue,
The most famous aircraft was the X-1, the first supersonic aircraft. They developed and produced many important civilian and military helicopters. Bell also developed the reaction control system for the North American X-15 and the Bell Rocket Belt. The company was purchased in 1960 by Textron and lives on today as Bell Helicopter in Fort Worth,
Rudy Klucik ASEN 3046-002 1. Explain why this person, aircraft or significant development has had significant impact. One of the biggest catalysts for aviation development has been the utility that planes and helicopters serve on the battlefield. There are an innumerable set of utilities that aircraft serve in terms of purpose, from moving military personnel around quickly and efficiently, to their integral function in activities such as surveillance and active military engagement. It is because of that utility that in the time that spans from pre-WWI to Vietnam that aviation has seen it’s largest leaps and bounds, but the in the times that span past Desert Storm, through the Gulf War, and into current day military operations in the middle east, that the most important development has taken place, the development of Stealth Bombers with precision
Bombardier is facing a great amount of backlash from Canadian citizens due to a recent scandal, linking one of its employee on bribery charges. Claas Belling a spokesman for Bombardier transportations said “As always, we are committed to operating in full compliance with all legal rules and requirements and our own high ethical standards.” (Brownell, 2017) The company will need to review its ethical standards procedures and implement new measures on improving everyone within the company therefore, it is clear and what is to be expected. We recommend the company highly encourage improved ethical operations and procedures among all staff members within the company in order to have the company succeed and reducing its chances at another scandal.
Tim, I enjoyed reading your post. It is well thought out and well written. All Army pilots must realize that every airframe is required for every other airframe to accomplish it's mission. Too many times one airframe community thinks it is the main effort and does not need the other airframes to accomplish its mission. We are no longer in flight school having stupid arguments about who's airframe is better.
The Bell UH-1 Iroquois, widely known as the “Huey,” is a military helicopter that gained its popularity as the pillar of the Vietnam War. Staggering statistics and accomplishments during the Vietnam War are the reasons this aircraft was widely used in the military. The Huey that performed most of the transportation for troops and medic needs was one of the most critical
Since the 1920s to the present day, the military’s use of technology has been improved with more efficient and powerful
