The Navy has consistently emphasized that the Triton is not an armed platform, but the integration of a series of upgraded next-generation targeting technologies significantly enhances the platform's ability to support high-speed attack missions. This includes targeting ground-to-ground missiles, bombs, and more advanced target positioning technologies. The potential weaponization of the Triton would greatly benefit from the integration of new computing and command and control technologies, such as artificial intelligence. Command and control upgrades, a focus of the Navy, can expand the drone's secure networking capacity, enabling it to operate alongside surface ships, fighter jets, and bombers in multiple domains, facilitating rapid exchange of timely data. The Triton has already been conducting significant targeting missions, and the latest innovations will enhance its ability to track targets, relay information, and potentially engage in offensive actions. With advancements in command and control, targeting and intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) technologies, drones like the Triton may offer unique value in future warfare, which was not initially anticipated.
