Brandon Upton brings over 20 years of United States Air Force experience and a decade of executive leadership at Northrop Grumman to every Astra Solutions engagement. As Production Superintendent on the MQ-9 Reaper and RQ-4 Global Hawk programs, he commanded operations involving 225 personnel, a $57.4M annual budget, and over 250,000 flight hours — including combat operations in Kandahar, Afghanistan.
His subsequent career at Lockheed Martin, AECOM, and Northrop Grumman as Senior Principal Logistics Engineer and Manufacturing Operations Manager established a depth of systems knowledge that informs Astra's approach to every contract: disciplined, compliant, and mission-first.
