A Fifth-Generation Air Force Disruption for Maritime Surveillance

June 20, 2019

Air Force is acquiring the MQ-4C Triton Remotely Piloted Aircraft System (RPAS2 ) to be operated alongside the P-8A Poseidon to replace the AP-3C Orion. The Triton mission payload relays maritime intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) information directly to the mission crew operator at the RPAS Mission Control Station (MCS) via the Defence Secret Network (DSN). The DSN functions as both a network, to enable the necessary link between Triton mission systems and mission crew, and as a data cloud for authorised DSN users such as deployed maritime commanders, P-8 missions, networked analysts, operations planners, and common operating picture.
