The US Navy has demonstrated its MQ-9 Reaper drone and E-2D airborne early warning (AEW) aircraft to support long-range missile strikes.

Conducted during Operation Neptune Strike 2023, the exercise allowed the unmanned vehicle to receive and pass the coordinates of the target ship to the E-2D Hawkeye.

The AEW aircraft then forwarded the information to a strike force composed of F/A-18 Hornets and Spanish AV-8B Harriers.

The E-2D successfully vectored the strike force to a location away from simulated enemy air defenses so it could begin its attack.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
