Northrop pitches new Fire Scout UAV to US Marine Corps
The US Navy’s newest Fire Scout drone may also become the Marine Corps newest aerial cargo drone if prime contractor Northrop Grumman has its way.
The Marines are currently testing Lockheed Martin’s K-MAX aerial drone and Boeing’s A160 Hummingbird as potential candidates for the unmanned airlift mission. Naval Air Systems Command recently decided to stop development work on the A160 for the Marines. The A160 is already in use by Army and Special Operations Command. The K-MAX is currently undergoing flight tests in Afghanistan. That stoppage has opened the door for the Fire Scout’s entry into the programme.
Northrop engineers are busy building in a cargo-carrying capability — along with others — into its new, long-range version of the Navy’s MQ-8 Fire Scout unmanned aircraft. The Navy is expected to issue a formal deal to Northrop to buy 12 new C-model Fire Scouts as soon as March. These new C-models will be able to fly further and carry more advanced intelligence payloads than the older B-models Fire Scouts already in the fleet.
