Northrop Promotes Lytle

Alan Lytle has been named vice president of undersea systems in Northrop Grumman's electronics systems sector, the contractor said today.

Lytle will oversee the unit's program and products, including submarine sensors, unmanned maritime systems, minehunting systems and torpedoes, and will be based in Annapolis, MD.

He came to Northrop in 2010 after working at the National Institute of Standards and Technology. He is a Navy submarine officer who served on fast-attack submarines before moving to the Navy Reserve, Northrop said.
