Northrop Grumman has been awarded a $65 million contract for parts for production and delivery of drones for the U.S. Navy and the Australian government.<\/p>\n

The deal, announced Wednesday by the Department of Defense, calls for long-lead production components for three Lot 5 MQ-4C Triton unmanned aircraft. The contract also covers equipment and materials for ground stations for all three drones.<\/p>\n

The MQ-4C Triton is designed to provide aerial intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance over ocean and coastal regions.<\/p>\n

The unmanned aircraft, under development for the Navy, is based on the company's RQ-4B Global Hawk drone used by the U.S. Air Force.<\/p>\n

The Triton is just under 50 feet long and has a 130-foot wingspan, and can remain aloft for more than 24 hours at a time.<\/p>\n

Northrop Grumman has been obligated fiscal 2019 Navy aircraft procurement funds, as well as cooperative partner funds, in the full amount of the contract.<\/p>\n

Work on the contract is expected to be completed by next June.<\/p>\n
