Transformational Mixed Force: Effective, Efficient Mission Capability Tailored to the Warfighters Requirements

Globally Responsive and Persistent Force -

24/7 coverage of maritime areas of interest

Multi-Spectrum Intelligence Collection -

employ an array of sensors to provide the
COCOM Maritime Domain Awareness

Fully Networked Platforms collect and share

intelligence data to a wide variety of users

Why Triton?

Triton is a key capability in the Navys

Intelligence, Surveillance, Reconnaissance &
Targeting (ISR&T) Transition

Program approach delivers Baseline ISR

capability

Upgrades to Signals Intelligence (SIGINT)

capability for Multiple intelligence (Multi-INT)
capabilities

Multi-INT capability enables retirement of
