BAE Systems and Lockheed Martin segment Skunk Works have tested coordination between aerial drones and an amphibious vessel for the US Marine Marine Corps.
During the trials, Lockheed-built Stalker and Indago small unmanned aerial systems were operated with BAE Systems’ Amphibious Combat Vehicle Command, Control, Communication and Computers/Uncrewed Aerial Systems (ACV C4/UAS) variant.
Alongside the companies, technology suppliers tried out the Stalker and Indago as part of contractor verification tests.
The demonstration concluded with the drones performing according to requirements.
