Japan Air Self-Defense Force lost contact with the unmanned surveillance aircraft during an undisclosed non-training mission.

Northrop Grumman will build the high-altitude UAVs, with European industry supporting mission systems, data infrastructure and services.

The company is investing $40 million in a facility designed to produce 30,000 compact radar panels annually as demand rises for short-range counter-UAS sensors.
