To be considered for the Cogswell Award, a facility must have
two consecutive superior industrial security review ratings.
Northrop Grumman's Palmdale Aircraft Integration Center of
Excellence (PAI CoE) received three consecutive ratings of
"Superior" in the last three years.
"The Palmdale facility has an extraordinary security program
that represents Northrop Grumman's values of performance and
excellence," said Andy Reynolds, vice president, global
manufacturing and Palmdale site manager, Northrop Grumman. "I am
extremely proud of our security team in working as a trusted
partner to our customers and peers, both internally and externally
to receive the Cogswell Award."
In achieving the Cogswell Award, Shane March, security manager,
PAI CoE, Northrop Grumman, and the security team identified subject
matter experts for various security assignments, assigned
integrated process teams to identify activities that needed to be
streamlined, gathered data through customer feedback and conducted
interviews. The team also partnered with other company sites to
better support the self-inspection process.
The DSS's award criterion focuses on principles of industrial
security excellence. Factors include establishing and maintaining a
security program that exceeds basic National Industrial Security
Program requirements and providing leadership to other cleared
facilities by establishing best practices, while maintaining the
highest standards for security.
"This achievement shows that Northrop Grumman takes security
very seriously," said Clarence Hollingsworth, field officer, DSS
Los Angeles. "Less than one percent of eligible contractors were
awarded the Cogswell Award this year."
