The US Navy has received the 24ft-long structural fuselage jig for the first MQ-4C broad area maritime surveillance unmanned aircraft system (BAMS UAS) being built by Northrop.
The BAMS UAS is a multimission maritime intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance system, designed to support various missions when operating independently or in collaboration with fleet assets.
The system provides a continuous on-station presence even when conducting open-ocean and littoral surveillance of targets.
The aircraft system is under development and demonstration stages and will be operational in 2016 with delivery of four aircraft to the fleet.
