The test proved the ability of F/A-18 Super Hornet and EA-18G Growler pilots to remotely control other aircraft from their own cockpit.

The flights, conducted during the US Navy Warfare Development Command’s annual fleet experiment (FLEX) exercises, proved the effectiveness of technology allowing F/A-18 Super Hornets and EA-18G Growlers to perform combat missions with unmanned systems.

“This demonstration allows Boeing and the Navy the opportunity to analyze the data collected and decide where to make investments in future technologies,” said Tom Brandt, Boeing Manned-UnManned Teaming demonstration lead.

“It could provide synergy with other U.S. Navy unmanned systems in development across the spectrum and in other services.”
