Northrop Grumman’s MQ-4C Triton is billed as a step change for
the ADF and its long-range, persistent intelligence, surveillance
and reconnaissance (ISR) capabilities serving as a major force
multiplier in Australia’s future force.
On this Defence Connect podcast, host Phil Tarrant is joined by
Chris Deeble, chief executive of Northrop Grumman Australia, to
discuss the transformational capability to be delivered by the
MQ-4C Triton high-altitude long-endurance (HALE) platform.
Deeble and Tarrant discuss the key role and capability the MQ-4C
Triton will deliver to the ADF as it undergoes a generational
transformation and force structure review identified in the
government’s $270 billion 2020 Defence Strategic Update and 2020
Force Structure Plan.
Finally, they will also talk about the role Triton will play in
supporting Australia’s growing sovereign defence industry
capability through the partnerships developed between Northrop
Grumman and Australian SMEs, despite challenges in the US.
