Peter Garvin, commander of the Patrol and Reconnaissance Group, said in the release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Northrop Grumman says the Triton can detect, track, classify and identify naval vessels, and can fly nonstop for more than 24 hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The drones will operate under Commander Task Force 72 in 7th Fleet, which will use the aircraft for intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance missions to complement the P-8A Poseidon, a military aircraft that provides anti-submarine and anti-surface warfare capabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In December 2017, Northrop Grumman received a $255 million contract modification to build three MQ-4C Tritons along with ground stations, tooling and related support equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Germany<a
