The Department of Justice confirms that more charges could be levied against a former Northrop Grumman design engineer who was arrested last year for allegedly selling stealth technology secrets related to the B-2 bomber. Noshir Gowadia, a Maui, Hawaii, resident, who refers to himself as the father of the B-2’s infrared suppression propulsion design, according to the Honolulu Star-Bulletin, has been charged with six separate transfers of classified information to foreign governments. Assistant U.S. Attorney Ken Sorenson tells the newspaper that a superseding indictment that will be announced soon will “radically change” the case. More evidence is due from the Air Force and from foreign countries.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth this week released strategies meant to focus the Pentagon’s “alphabet soup” of innovation organizations and proliferate artificial intelligence—moves that experts say could provide the structure needed to make the military’s efforts to integrate and field new technology more effective.
