Northrop Grumman to Support U.S. Navy, Australia’s MQ-4C Triton Drones

Northrop Grumman has won a contract valued $82 million to support MQ-4C Triton drones operated by the U.S. Navy and Australia.

This contract provides for sustainment, engineering, logistics, test, mission control, and operator training systems support for MQ-4C Triton unmanned aircraft systems (UAS). This effort also includes procurement of field service representatives and technical support to ensure that the MQ-4C Triton UAS aircraft are mission-capable for intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance missions supporting Triton’s early operational capability and initial operating capability, a U.S. DoD release today said.

In addition, this effort supports reach-back engineering support for both the Navy and the government of Australia MQ-4C Triton UAS assets.

Work is expected to be completed in March 2022.
