About Northrop Grumman
Northrop Grumman develops autonomous and uncrewed systems for air, maritime, land and space missions. Its portfolio includes the MQ-4C Triton surveillance aircraft, Manta Ray uncrewed underwater demonstrator, Lumberjack collaborative aircraft concept and autonomous testbeds linked through mission software.
Open architectures connect sensors, platforms and human operators so capabilities can be updated without replacing an entire system. The company performs vehicle design, autonomy integration, manufacturing, flight or sea testing and long-term support for government customers. Programmes range from operational fleets to research demonstrators with distinct mission and maturity levels.
