Northrop Grumman’s OmegA space is among a trio of competitors for the Air Force’s next-generation space launch system.

The debate is heating up this budget season over the Air Force's multibillion-dollar plan to acquire new space launch services, as Congress considers upending the tight schedule and contracting process.

Northrop Grumman is competing with Blue Origin's New Glenn and United Launch Alliance's Vulcan for the National Security Space Launch Phase 2 Launch Service Procurement. The plan we laid out we have been executing and hitting our milestones. We have to design a system that is very reliable, but it's got to be designed so it meets the schedule. We have to fly in early 2021. So we need to design this rocket and make sure we show up on time with it.

[The response of the Air Force is] 'Hey, look Congress, you gave us this problem. You are taking the RD-180 away from us. We've got to stay on schedule. Our backs are against the wall, so whatever it is you change, we got to maintain schedule. We'll find ourselves without any good alternatives.'
