BAE, Skunk Works Showcase Drone-Amphibious Vehicle Interoperability for US Marines

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.
