U.S. Navy pilots have tested a Northrop Grumman-built targeting system while operating an F/A-18 Super Hornet aircraft. The initial flight demonstration of the multisensor Litening pod showcased the system’s surveillance and autonomous target tracking functions, Northrop said Wednesday. Super Hornet aircrew used the pod training laser mode and completed various tasks such as identifying ground […] More
Boeing has conducted a virtual demonstration of a new open autonomy architecture designed to enable manned-unmanned teaming capabilities for the U.S. Navy’s MQ-25 aerial refueling system. During the digital flight test, three different simulated naval aircraft tasked four virtual, autonomous MQ-25s to conduct tanking and intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance missions without communicating with the ship-based […] More
The U.S. Navy tested for the third time a Northrop Grumman-built extended-range missile at the Point Mugu Sea Range off the coast of California. The Northrop-made AGM-88G Advanced Anti-Radiation Guided Missile Extended Range system detected and engaged a ground-based threat using its emitter acquisition platform after being launched from an F/A-18 Super Hornet aircraft during […] More
Boeing and the U.S. Navy have jointly demonstrated the ability of a Block III F/A-18 Super Hornet jet to connect with and control three unmanned aerial vehicles. Company engineers, within six months, developed, installed and tested new software loads of the aircraft’s Distributed Targeting Processor – Networked, which transmitted commands to the UAVs via a […] More
The U.S. Navy has performed the second live-fire test of a Northrop Grumman-developed air-to-surface missile system designed to detect, locate and target land-based air defense radar systems at extended ranges. Northrop said Monday the AGM-88G Advanced Anti-Radiation Guided Missile Extended Range was launched from F/A-18 Super Hornet jet at the Point Mugu Sea Range in […] More
Boeing has delivered to the U.S. Navy the first Block III F/A-18 Super Hornet, designed to be the most networked and survivable version of the multirole fighter aircraft. The Block III jet features open hardware and software that enable engineers to develop and integrate upgrades throughout its lifespan to meet future threats, the aerospace company […] More
Boeing has announced a future Illinois-based facility that, upon completion in 2024, will house the production of carrier-based unmanned aircraft systems for the U.S. Navy. The company said Friday the 300,000-square-foot facility within the MidAmerica St. Louis Airport will implement robotic automation, advanced assembly approaches and other manufacturing processes and tools to produce the MQ-25 […] More
Boeing and Northrop Grumman conducted a virtual manned-unmanned teaming demonstration using the MQ-25 Stingray unmanned aerial refueler, E-2D Advanced Hawkeye airborne command-and-control aircraft and the F/A-18 Super Hornet fighter jet. The Office of Naval Research sponsored the demonstration, which used Northrop’s portable E-2D simulator and simulations of Boeing’s MQ-25 and Super Hornet aircraft, Boeing said […] More
Boeing and the U.S. Navy have completed an air-to-air fuel transfer mission that demonstrated the capability of a company-built unmanned aircraft system to conduct aerial refueling in support of another aircraft, and marked the first time such activity was performed. The demonstration involved the Boeing-owned MQ-25 T1 test asset and a U.S. Navy F/A-18 fighter […] More
A Raytheon Technologies business is developing a next generation decoy technology to provide F/A-18 Super Hornet aircraft with added protection against enemy missiles. Raytheon Intelligence and Space has designed the Dual-Band Decoy to attract hostile missiles by sending out signals that cover a wider range of bands in the electromagnetic spectrum, the company said Wednesday.
Cubic's mission and performance solutions business has received an $8.5M task order to mature core architectures of a training system designed for the U.S. Navy's F/A-18 and EA-18G aircraft programs.
