'Partnering with NASA, we will detail requirements and solutions to make it possible for autonomous aircraft, in this case being air cargo, to be integrated seamlessly and safely into national airspace,' said
Under this partnership, Northrop Grumman and NASA will develop and test solutions for integrating large Unmanned Aircraft Systems into the national airspace system, with an emphasis on air cargo operations. To support this long-term goal, they will exchange data and information to define technologies and procedures for remotely piloted systems. This work will include coordination with the
Northrop Grumman is a long-standing leader in the development and operations of advanced autonomous systems and future autonomous air capabilities. From rudimentary radio-controlled aircraft to today's software intensive systems, the company's aircraft, such as the Global Hawk, are already operating in collaborative environments with crewed aircraft. With technical expertise in military aviation and autonomy, Northrop Grumman developed the first distributed autonomous framework that allows military commanders to control numerous uncrewed aircraft simultaneously.
Northrop Grumman is a technology company, focused on global security and human discovery. Our pioneering solutions equip our customers with capabilities they need to connect, advance and protect the
