Autonomy
Leading Next-generation Integrated Autonomous Solutions

Transforming the Future of Autonomy
Northrop Grumman is a trusted autonomy and mission solutions provider with seven decades of autonomous experience and more than 500,000 autonomous flight hours. We build capabilities that support the entire spectrum of uncrewed solutions our customers need in today’s contested warfighting domains. We’re at the forefront of defense innovation and integration, providing open architecture autonomous solutions that seamlessly transform disparate systems into a cohesive unit.
As a proven integrator, we excel in both flight and mission autonomy, ensuring comprehensive solutions for uncrewed systems. Our "human on the loop" approach enables human-overseen autonomy for critical decision-making processes. We know how to build reliable, survivable hardware. From high speeds to extreme temperatures, our products are built to be reliable and survivable in any condition.

Leading with Speed and Innovation
At Northrop Grumman, we believe that speed doesn't happen by accident – it's engineered. This is the outcome of smart, informed decisions made early, and the consequence of rigorous preparation that gives us confidence to move fast when it matters. From day one, our autonomous systems are designed to be manufactured at speed, scaled with confidence, and delivered when the mission demands it.
Our ongoing investments in our own technology, allow us to build faster and more affordably so we can get products to market quickly to stay ahead of what the customer needs. By uniting innovation with proven industrial scale, we are redefining how quickly advanced autonomous capability reaches the warfighter.
