Northrop Grumman MQ-4C Triton

The Northrop Grumman MQ-4C Triton is a high-altitude, long-endurance unmanned aircraft developed for maritime intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance. Northrop Grumman describes Triton as a persistent maritime-domain-awareness platform capable of operating above 50,000 feet for more than 24 hours, with a cited range of 7,400 nautical miles. The aircraft is built to detect, track and classify contacts over large ocean and coastal areas while sharing information with other military platforms. The Aviation Diary keeps Triton as a distinct MQ-4C entry rather than blending its specifications with the related RQ-4 family. Its ICAO-linked designator in the current dataset is RQ4, and additional dimensional or configuration-specific values should remain tied to Triton-specific sources.
