Innovating the Future of Autonomy

Built on decades of autonomy experience and over 500,000 autonomous flight hours, Northrop Grumman is innovating the future of autonomy. As the latest addition to the company's elite autonomous portfolio, Project Talon represents a paradigm shift in air dominance as an adaptive, collaborative teammate for combat missions. Additionally, through the Beacon autonomous testbed ecosystem and Prism autonomy software solutions, Northrop Grumman is proving the value of our approach to autonomy. The force-multiplier effect is achieved through our own innovations and those of a robust vendor pool of American companies.
