Upgrades to the powerful Reaper drone and the sea-based Triton drone are coming. The Pentagon has big plans for the Air Force’s Global Hawk and the Navy’s Triton drones. These drones could soon be zooming in on moving targets and threats from even higher altitudes than before, using improved sensor range and resolution. They could also be networking real time data and video feeds across a wider sphere of air, surface and land nodes and extending mission dwell time over high-value areas. All of these upgrades are part of the Pentagon’s rationale for adding more than $600 million to the 2021 budget for both drones.
