MQ-4C Triton completes first flightThe Northrop Grumman MQ-4C Triton is an American (UAV) under development for the as a. Together with its associated, it is an (UAS).
Developed under the Broad Area Maritime Surveillance (BAMS) program, the system is intended to provide real-time intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance missions (ISR) over vast ocean and coastal regions, continuous maritime surveillance, conduct search and rescue missions, and to complement the maritime patrol aircraft. Triton builds on elements of the; changes include reinforcements to the air frame and wing, de-icing systems, and lightning protection systems. These capabilities allow the aircraft to descend through cloud layers to gain a closer view of ships and other targets at sea when needed. The sensor suites allow ships to be tracked by gathering information on their speed, location, and classification.The MQ-4C System Development and Demonstration (SDD) aircraft was delivered in 2012 and the MQ-4C was expected to be operational by late 2015 with a total of 67 aircraft to be procured. Initial Operational Capability (IOC) for the MQ-4C was achieved in 2018 with Full Operating Capability (FOC) planned in 2023. Northrop Grumman unveiled the MQ-4C Triton in Palmdale, California in June 2012The U.S.
Navy plans a fleet of sixty-eight MQ-4Cs and 117 to replace the aging force. Around forty MQ-4Cs will be based at various sites, predominantly home stations or overseas deployment sites for Navy P-8A and P-3C aircraft. This includes an unspecified location in (most likely );, Florida;, Japan;, California, and, Italy. The reported on 14 September 2012, that the system will also be stationed at, Guam.In August 2013, the Navy paused the development of the 'sense and avoid' radar system that would enable the MQ-4C to avoid other aircraft traffic.
The Triton would have been the first unmanned aircraft to be fitted with such a system, but the system was behind schedule and over budget. The radar system remains a requirement in the program, but budgetary and technology pressures have forced the Navy to defer integrating it onto the aircraft. The Navy and Northrop Grumman are working to determine when the sense-and-avoid system can be included into the production line.
