Wingman UAV Tests

摘要

On February 23, the US Navy announced recent simulated flight tests of a wingman UAV concept in a beyond-visual-range combat scenario. Coordination between UAVs, acting as wingman to a manned aircraft, was handled by Tactical Battle Manager software, which communicated between manned and unmanned platforms during the flight tests. Collaboration for the flight tests involved Naval Air Systems Command, the Navy Center for Applied Research in Artificial Intelligence and the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL).
