WASHINGTON – The Navy is planning toward a future capability of a P-8A Poseidon maritime patrol aircraft crew exercising in-flight control of an MQ-4C Triton unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV).

The P-8 and MQ-4C “are going to be sharing real-time information back and forth, and when you get into the later generations of P-8 capability and Triton capability, we’re actually going to get to a point where crews on [the] P-8 will operate, fly, [and] handle the sensors on Triton,” said Capt. James Hoke, the Navy’s Triton program manager, in an Aug. 13 briefing to reporters at the Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International’s Unmanned Systems 2013 conference.
