Yes, they were filmed at TRW world headquarters in Redondo Beach, CA.

Right location, wrong role.  The filming was performed at TRW's Space
Park location in Redondo Beach, CA,  but as  a former  TRW employee I
assure you that Space Park is not the world headquarters for TRW.  It
is  the  headquarters  for  the  Defense  and  Electronics Sector (or
whatever  new  acronym  they're  using this  year).   The filming was
actually performed on  the lower  level plaza  outside the cafeteria.
The bridge span overhead is the  walkway over  the plaza  to the mid-
level of the Services building.  The tall building  in the background
is "building E2", the primary administrative building (houses all the
V.P.'s and  very high  level managers).   The  filmed view  is to the
north-east (towards the 405 freeway).

fyi - TRW "World" Headquarters is in Cleveland, Ohio (or some appropriate
      suburb.  

      TRW "Space & Technology" Headquarters is in Redondo Beach, at a 
      college-like campus called One Space Park (referred by the locals
      as One No Parking Space).

Just to set the record straight.
