With a $267 million deal, Northrop Grumman will now manufacture two more MQ-4C Triton drones for the US Navy. The deal is a component of the service’s strategy to improve its intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) capabilities by deploying a fleet of 27 MQ-4Cs. The contract also includes Northrop providing the navy with a main operating base and related support services in addition to the high-altitude drones.
