Boeing Runs Advanced Teaming Concepts Demo - AVweb

A team led by Boeing has completed a new demonstration of manned-unmanned teaming (MUM-T) capabilities. Conducted in a “virtual environment,” the demonstration used Northrop Grumman’s portable E-2D Advanced Hawkeye simulator along with Boeing’s F/A-18 Super Hornet and MQ-25 Stingray uncrewed aerial refueling drone simulations. According to Boeing, the mission scenarios demonstrated included the “E-2D successfully acting as the air wing 'tanker king' while the MQ-25 refueled the F/A-18, in addition to supervising the MQ-25 during an intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance mission.”

The people in DCS, digital combat simulator, have been doing this demonstration in a VR sim using current military aircraft for several years now. Even I demonstrated it. AI flew the fueling aircraft and I flew the fighter.
