Red 6 partners with Northrop Grumman on autonomous systems

Red 6, a hardware-enabled software company, announced its partnership with Northrop Grumman (NOC) on the Beacon initiative – Northrop Grumman’s open-access next-generation testbed ecosystem designed to rapidly deliver new autonomous mission capabilities. The collaboration will specifically focus on equipping the Beacon platform with Red 6’s Advanced Tactical Augmented Reality System. ATARS creates virtual outdoor worlds that deliver threat-relevant, near-peer level training scenarios at speed and scale – affordably increasing safety, easing airspace limitations, enabling next-generation aircraft training, and providing significant environmental benefits. Red 6 pilots are currently training in CCA formations using ATARS, making Red 6’s technology essential for preparing aviators for the collaborative combat aircraft era.
