Northrop Grumman taps head of aerospace programs for Australian business

Northrop Grumman has named Scott Harris head of aerospace programs within Northrop Grumman Australia, where he will represent all Northrop Grumman Aerospace Systems Sector operations in that region.

Harris joined Northrop Grumman originally through the acquisition of Qantas Defence Services, where he served as head of customer business. He spent 30 years with the Australian Defence Forces before that.

This is a newly created role that aligns the existing Aerospace Systems Sector regional operations with the strategic direction that the company is developing with Northrop Grumman Australia, said Northrop Grumman Australia chief executive Ian Irving.
