NGC MQ-4C Triton for US Navy

Northrop Grumman has delivered the first operational MQ-4C Triton UAV to the US Navy facility at Point Mugu, providing the service with unparalleled endurance and 360 degree coverage that allows for a vastly expanded maritime intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) mission. Naval Base Ventura County Point Mugu is location to the maintenance detachment of Unmanned Patrol Squadron (VUP)19, with the first two operational Triton aircraft for employment at Guam, scheduled next year. VUP19, the Navy’s first unmanned patrol squadron, is based at Naval Air Station Jacksonville, Florida. Pilots and operators will fly the unmanned Triton aircraft from NAS Jacksonville.
