PATUXENT RIVER, Md., Feb. 17 (UPI) -- Northrop Grumman's MQ-4C Triton unmanned aircraft system has successfully completed an operational assessment conducted by the company and U.S. Navy teams.
Final data analysis of the tests must still be done, but successful completion of the OA tests signals the maturity of the MQ-4C system and paves the way for a positive Milestone C decision, which will result in low-rate initial production of the aircraft.
