U.S. Navy's latest MQ-4C Triton uncrewed multi-intelligence aircraft is undergoing testing with the Naval Air Systems Command. The aircraft will go through calibration and other testing prior to being transferred to the Navy's operational unit.

Triton is the world's premier unmanned maritime intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance and targeting aircraft.

Built for the U.S. Navy and Royal Australian Air Force at Northrop Grumman's Palmdale, California facility, Triton supports a wide range of missions, including maritime patrol, signals intelligence and search and rescue.
