In August 2010 the MQ-1C received the nickname Grey Eagle. The MQ-1C Grey Eagle was also offered to the US Navy, because of the "Maritime Surveillance" program. So that the capabilities of the MQ-1C could be combined with the Boeing P-8 Poseidon, to patrol over the sea. But the MQ-1C lost against the RQ-4N by Northtrop Grumman, which was renamed into MQ-4C.
