 The Navy's Unmanned Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance Aircraft Platform, the MQ-4C Triton unmanned aircraft system, completed its first flight May 22. This is a major milestone for the future use of unmanned aircraft operations in the fleet. The Triton system will serve as a complement to the P-8 Poseidon, supporting surface warfare bug providing real-time data to the fleet. It will also serve as a major component of the military surveillance strategy. The Triton can fly missions up to 24 hours at altitude higher than 10 miles and it's also capable of monitoring 2,000 nautical miles at a time. The aircraft was officially unveiled last year and will continue to undergo testing and demonstration until its delivery to the fleet expected by 2015.
