Since its founding in 1953 by Charles Tex Thornton, one of the famed Whiz Kids of Ford Motor Company, Litton has been on the leading edge of technological innovation, developing and manufacturing products from the Litton microwave oven to the LN 3 inertial guidance system, which became standard on all NATO fighter aircraft. Ingalls Shipbuilding, one of Litton's most vital acquisitions, has become a leading supplier of combatant ships for the U.S. Navy. Today, Litton Industries is a pioneer in worldwide technology for electronic warfare, navigation, guidance and control, communications systems, and information technology.
