Media Release, Palmdale CA, 06 February 2025: Northrop Grumman Corporation successfully completed testing of Australia’s third MQ-4C Triton at the company’s Palmdale, California, facility.
The company is preparing to ferry the aircraft to Naval Air Station in Patuxent River, Maryland, where it will join Australia’s second Triton for calibration testing before delivery of both aircraft to the Royal Australian Air Force. Robust flight testing and validation of these uncrewed high-altitude, long endurance aircraft are key milestones ahead of delivery to Australia this year.
Australia’s air force is collaborating with Northrop Grumman and the US Navy to field the most advanced maritime intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance and targeting capability available today.
