Drones For The U.S. Navy



Northrop Begins Production of MQ-4 for U.S. Navy -- Defense News

Northrop Grumman has begun work on the very first MQ-4 Broad Area Maritime Surveillance drone at the company's Moss Point, Miss., facility, company officials announced Sept. 1.

The aircraft is the first of roughly 40 of the high-altitude spy drones destined for service in the U.S. Navy. The UAVs are based on the U.S. Air Force's RQ-4 Global Hawk spy planes. The Navy versions are designed to work together with the service's new P-8 maritime patrol planes in scanning and even attacking targets over large swaths of the sea.
