F/A-18 pilot can command MQ-25 for refueling
Citat:Boeing has successfully demonstrated the capability for an F/A-18 Super Hornet pilot to control an MQ-25 Stingray for aerial refueling during a recent virtual test.
The virtual test utilized existing communication links between the two platforms. A Boeing-led team simulated an F/A-18 pilot issuing commands to the MQ-25, directing it to deploy its refueling drogue and complete the refueling process.
This achievement marks a significant step forward for Boeing’s MUM-T software development. It builds upon previous tests and signifies the software’s increasing maturity for potential deployment on the F/A-18 platform.
The recent test also incorporated a crucial element of realism. While the scenario was simulated, the software interacted with actual hardware and data links already installed on both the F/A-18 and MQ-25. This integration strengthens the validity of the test results and brings the technology closer to real-world application.
