Northrop Grumman successfully demonstrated the MQ-4C Triton navigation system's ability to operate at high latitudes deep within the Arctic Circle.
MQ-4C Triton
In a world with emerging military threats, Triton provides the most capable persistent domain awareness.
Australia receives two Triton aircraft
The Royal Australian Air Force recently received their second and third MQ-4C Triton uncrewed maritime surveillance aircraft. With the delivery of these aircraft, Australia continues to field the most advanced high-altitude, long-endurance capability to safeguard its maritime interests.
Detecting Threats Faster
MQ-4C Triton's persistent, high-altitude maritime ISR detects, tracks, and classifies objects quickly and safely by flying higher, longer and more efficiently while quickly sharing data to enable military coordination.
Triton is the only autonomous high altitude, long endurance (HALE) maritime aircraft capable of operating at altitudes above 50,000 ft, for 24-plus hours with a range of 7,400 nautical miles.
Unprecedented Maritime Domain Awareness
A single MQ-4C, with its ultra-long operational range and high-altitude combined with simultaneous operations of the 360-degree multi-intelligence suite, provides four times the ISR coverage of other autonomous platforms without sacrificing altitude, range, or endurance. Triton can see farther, fly longer, act faster, identify quicker and is more survivable than less capable medium-altitude uncrewed systems.
The U.S. Navy has robust Triton R&D funding for continued capabilities insertion and improvements to pace the threat.
Meeting Mission with Value
A single MQ-4C, with its ultra-long operational range and high-altitude combined with simultaneous operations of the 360-degree multi-intelligence suite, provides four times the ISR coverage of other autonomous platforms without sacrificing altitude, range, or endurance.
Unmatched Maritime Surveillance
As the world's premier HALE platform, Triton’s altitude, range and sensors provide 33 percent greater effectiveness and 60 percent fewer flight hours at half the operational cost of medium-altitude aircraft for the same surveillance mission.
