Northrop Grumman Corporation (NYSE: NOC) uncrewed aircraft MQ-4C Triton has completed its first flight at Palmdale Aircraft Integration Center in California. Built for the U.S. Navy and Royal Australian Air Force, the multi-intelligence MQ-4C Triton is a uncrewed, high-altitude, long-endurance aircraft developed to gather maritime intelligence and conduct surveillance, reconnaissance and targeting operations.
Australia’s participation in the Triton cooperation program has been pivotal in defining the requirements for its system. The US and Australian Defense Forces will be able to share data collected by their respective Tritons, which is a crucial capability in a strategically important region.
