Australia’s Quickstep to Produce F-35 Components for Northrop Grumman

Northrop Grumman Corporation has signed a six-year agreement with Quickstep Holdings Limited to supply components to support the global aerospace programme. The order was signed under an existing MoU with the Australian-owned and operated company, with work to be completed in Sydney, New South Wales.
 
Northrop Grumman manufactures the centre fuselage section for all three F-35 variants. In 2012, the company integrated Quickstep into its global supply chain for the F-35 and has become the company’s largest Australian supplier for the programme.
 
“Growing our nation’s industrial base is vital to meeting the ongoing and future capability needs of the Australian Defence Force (ADF), as well as supporting the next generation of game-changing technologies,” said the Honourable Pat Conroy MP, Minister for Defence Industry.
 
The Australian Government joined the global F-35 programme in 2002. For the last 20 years, more than 70 directly contracted Australian businesses have made significant contributions to the design and development phases of the programme.
 
Northrop Grumman is a principal partner to Lockheed Martin Corporation in the design, development, production and sustainment of the F-35 multirole fighter for the United States and its allies. In February 2022, Northrop Grumman delivered its 900th fuselage to the programme.
