Talon IQ™

Backed by decades of autonomy experience, Talon IQ™ is Northrop Grumman’s next-generation autonomous testbed ecosystem designed to rapidly deliver new autonomous mission capabilities and accelerate autonomy readiness.

Talon IQ leverages Prism, our advanced mission autonomy software, to develop the capabilities that form the basis for an open-access autonomy ecosystem. Through our unique approach, third-party partners are invited into the Talon IQ ecosystem to rapidly integrate their technology with our proven flight software and hardware. Prism serves as a government reference architecture (GRA) enabler that accelerates integration. It enhances our ability to deploy mission-ready autonomy in real-world scenarios while reducing risk and cost and increasing readiness for our customers. This environment significantly reduces the time and cost required to bring new autonomous mission capabilities to market.
