Gowadia has worked 18 years for Northrop Corp., where he was an engineer and designed the B-2 stealth bomber’s propulsion system. In November 2005, he was charged with three counts of sharing secret military information.
He has been in federal custody since the time of his arrest in October 2005. Several federal agencies are involved in the investigation of the case including the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the United States Air Force and the Internal Revenue Service.
