Northrop Grumman-built MQ-8C Fire Scout First Flight

Published on Oct 31, 2013

The Northrop Grumman-built MQ-8C Fire Scout unmanned helicopter successfully completed its first flight on Oct. 31 from Naval Base Ventura County Point Mugu, Calif. Northrop Grumman is the prime contractor for the U.S. Navy's Fire Scout program that includes the combat-proven MQ-8B and the next-generation MQ-8C variant. The MQ-8C provides the Navy with increased endurance, range, and payload capacity.

MQ-4C Triton Flight Testing

Published on Dec 31, 2013

Northrop Grumman Corporation and the U.S. Navy have completed nine initial flight tests of the Triton unmanned aircraft system (UAS), marking the half-way point in a process called envelope expansion. During envelope expansion, the test team validates the aircraft's ability to operate at a range of altitudes, speeds and weights. The flights are taking place at the company's manufacturing facility in Palmdale, Calif. The Triton test team accomplished endurance flights up to 9.4-hours at altitudes up to 50,000 feet. The aircraft also performed doublets, a maneuver that tests the aircraft's ability to recover from small perturbations in its flight path caused by turbulence.

Northrop Grumman's High School Innovation Challenge

Published on Jan 9, 2014

The High School Innovation Challenge is an annual high school design competition hosted by select Northrop Grumman sites from February through April. The competition theme varies yearly and is inspired by a Northrop Grumman program or capability. Previous competition themes led to challenges which tasked students to build launcher systems, RC airplanes, airships, and deployables. The High School Innovation Challenge strives to encourage students to actively engage in fun and rewarding Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) activities.

NASA Deploys ATTREX To Guam to Study Climate Change

Published on Jan 27, 2014

NASA is deploying the uncrewed Global Hawk research aircraft to Guam for the Airborne Tropical Tropopause Experiment (ATTREX). The mission is studying changes in moisture and chemical composition of the upper atmosphere that can affect Earth's climate. Instruments onboard the Global Hawk will take measurements in the Pacific Ocean's tropical tropopause, a layer of the atmosphere between 55,000 and 65,000 feet above sea level.

Autonomous Control of UAS Ground Operations in the Terminal Area

Published on Aug 13, 2014

The terminal area is highly complex, dynamic, and congested environment presenting many challenges in terms of safety maintenance. Current operations require the isolation of UAVs from other manned and unmanned traffic as operator situational awareness is not sufficient to maintain safety in this environment. The ACUGOTA program seeks to address safety issues by introducing onboard intelligence to maintain situational awareness, coordinate with other airfield entities, navigate the airfield environment, all while resolving potential traffic and contingent situations.
