About Us

Norden had its beginnings in the company that developed and manufactured the Norden Bombsight of World War II fame. That tradition continued through 2013 with the development and manufacture of sophisticated electronics systems. Pictured are some of the platforms hosting Norden radar, display and fire control systems.  Over time the original Norden Laboratories Corporation became part of larger corporations. First there was United Technologies (formerly United Aircraft) then Westinghouse and finally Northrop Grumman Corporation. Along the way, the name was changed to Norden Systems and eventually Norden Systems was integrated into Northrop Grumman Corporation's Electronic Systems Sector. Norden closed it's doors at the end of 2013. All manufacturing and development moved to the Northrop Grumman Electronic Systems facility in Linthicum, MD.  A company retrospective commemorating the years that we retirees have devoted to the Company can be found here.

The purpose of the Norden Retirees Club is to maintain contact with past employees of Norden; to encourage good fellowship among its members; to promote recreational, social, and community service activities; and to undertake any other worthwhile projects of interest to its members

This Web site contains information that is primarily of interest to Norden retirees, but also includes historical information that may be of interest to the general public.
