US EditionWho Is Noshir Gowadia? Mumbai-Born Engineer Built B-2 Stealth Bombers, Later Jailed for Leaking Information to China
- In November 2010, Indian-American engineer Noshir Gowadia was convicted and later received a 32-year federal prison term for passing classified US defense designs to China.
- Between July 2003 and June 2005, Gowadia traveled to China on six occasions, where he shared classified defense information to assist in advancing China's cruise missile stealth technology.
- He had designed the B-2 Spirit stealth bomber’s propulsion system while working at Northrop Grumman until 1986 and received at least $110,000 from China, masking income through foreign entities.
- Assistant Attorney General David Kris said Gowadia gave “some of our country’s most sensitive weapons-related designs” to China, warning this prosecution should deter others who seek profit by compromising secrets.
- Gowadia’s conviction highlights concerns that stolen US stealth technology may have aided China’s advances and underscores risks of compromising military secrets for financial gain.
