New bat-like UAV for the U.S. military

The United States has given Northrop Grumman extra funding of $39 million so it could keep on developing a special radar that allows the UAV MQ-4C Triton ot dodge other aerial vehicles during flight. This large grant was given to the company due to its major advancement in developing the radar which is in fact a lighter and simpler to produce model of Air-to-Air Radar System (AARS). In this advancement, Northrop Grumman has overcome the difficulty of minimizing a system that launches signals and then searches for signals coming back from other aerial vehicles.
