“Our partnership with the University of Sydney highlights Northrop Grumman’s commitment to develop the brightest engineering students in Australia to become world-class leaders in cutting-edge technology that will stimulate research and development and economic growth,” Irving said. “Northrop Grumman is also pleased to announce three-year scholarship funding for a postgraduate aerospace engineering student to focus on autonomous systems.”
Johnston added that the MOU recognises the importance of industry and academia partnerships in supporting and expanding global and national aerospace research and development. “Bringing together world-class research with world-leading industry expertise will not only benefit engineering students and staff, but also the industry as a whole,” he said.
