Northrop Grumman MQ-4C TritonNorthrop Grumman (NYSE: NOC) has received a one-year, $9.6 million order to design, develop, analyze, integrate and test software for the U.S. Navy‘s MQ-4C Triton unmanned aircraft system.

The Defense Department said Monday that Northrop will support the vehicle management software correction of deficiencies and integration of configuration updates into the MQ-4C under the cost-plus-fixed-fee order.

DoD added the company will analyze and design concepts to integrate Automatic Response Module based on the drone’s implementation of the Airborne Collision Avoidance System Xu.
