Project Talon represents a paradigm shift in air dominance as an adaptive, collaborative teammate for combat missions.
Project Talon
The Autonomous Wingman
Next-Generation Autonomous Aircraft
Project Talon represents a paradigm shift in air dominance and showcases our ability to quickly deliver mission-ready autonomy with streamlined manufacturing capabilities and innovative production processes. From the beginning, it has been designed for manufacturing. Its modular design exemplifies how efficient and adaptable manufacturing can meet the rapidly changing requirements of modern military operations, broadening appeal and effectiveness with domestic and international markets.
Speed through Expertise
Project Talon leverages lessons learned from previous efforts and incorporates feedback from various customer sets to ensure future needs are met effectively and quickly.
Speed is the outcome of smart, informed decisions made early, and the consequence of the rigorous preparation that gives us confidence to move fast when it matters.
With Project Talon, we’ve listened, invested, and iterated on our designs to deliver greater value in affordable combat capabilities.
We engineered through anticipating mission needs, investing ahead of demand, and building the digital backbone and manufacturing capacity to move quickly and with clarity.
Delivering Complexity with Simplicity
Our company-funded development of Project Talon showcases our commitment to innovation in autonomous systems tailored to military needs. Northrop Grumman leveraged multiple areas of the company, including Scaled Composites, to best combine autonomy hardware and software expertise with the proven ability to design, test and build with speed.
This iterative approach allows for measured risk-taking and rapid validation of design concepts, allowing for real-time feedback. The result is shorter development cycles and increased efficiency, meeting the timelines and evolving needs of our customers.
