美国加利福尼亚州帕姆代尔，美国海军 MQ-4C 广域海上监视无人机系统进行首次飞行。首飞进行了一个半小时，成功验证了该机的控制系统能够使自主运行。MQ-4C 是 RQ-4“全球鹰”高空长航程无人机的海上衍生型，将和 P-8A 反潜巡逻机互补，在大洋上空执行情报、监视与侦察（ISR）任务，成为美国海军的一种全新力量倍增器。（The Northrop Grumman-built Triton unmanned aircraft system completed its first flight from the company's manufacturing facility in Palmdale, Calif. The one-an-a-half-hour flight successfully demonstrated control systems that allow Triton to operate autonomously. Triton is specially designed to fly surveillance missions up to 24 hours at altitudes of more than 10 miles, allowing coverage out to 2,000 nautical miles. The system's advanced suite of sensors can detect and automatically classify different types of ships.）
