The MQ-4C Triton Unmanned Aircraft System completed its first cross-country flight early today.

Watch as MQ-4C Triton, the Navy's largest unmanned aircraft, lands at 7:53 a.m. Sept. 18 at Naval Air Station Patuxent River, Md. Its debut at Patuxent River marks the transition from initial flight test to testing that will demonstrate the Triton's capability to perform operational missions in the maritime domain. Rear Adm. Mat Winter, who oversees Unmanned Aviation and Strike Weapons at NAVAIR, and Capt. Jim Hoke, program manager of Triton's Persistent Maritime Unmanned Systems Program Office, provide commentary.
