Beacon
Next-Generation Autonomous Testbed Ecosystem
Leading Innovation and Expertise in Autonomous Flight
Backed by decades of autonomy experience, Beacon™ is Northrop Grumman’s next-generation autonomous testbed ecosystem designed to rapidly deliver new autonomous mission capabilities and accelerate autonomy readiness.
Beacon 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 Beacon 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.
Strength Through Partnership
Built on our deep autonomy experience and over 500,000 autonomous flight hours, Beacon rapidly establishes autonomous flight test capabilities to quickly mature mission autonomy. Utilizing the Scaled Composites Model 437 demonstration aircraft as a test platform, we partner with industry leaders in autonomy and artificial intelligence to accelerate software deployment, reduce risk, and improve readiness for future aircraft programs.
By integrating top-tier software, mission capabilities, and AI, we connect the industry to ensure our customers are equipped for the future of autonomy.
