Scion/Helix

Mission Focused Autonomy

Scion/Helix

Mission systems that sense, make sense and act across all domains

Future mission success in the maritime domain will depend on the ability to command and control diverse fleets of uncrewed vehicles with a wide range of payloads, extending the range of communications and electronic warfare capabilities.

Two Northrop Grumman mission-focused autonomous capabilities, Scion and Helix, rapidly transform existing commercial uncrewed platforms into resilient and survivable combat and surveillance systems.

Scion: Adapting Uncrewed Platforms for Combat and Surveillance
