Boeing And Northrop Grumman Achieve Automated Teaming
Northrop Grumman and Boeing have successfully demonstrated the automated teaming of an MQ-4C Triton maritime surveillance drone and a P-8A Poseidon maritime patrol aircraft. The demonstration, which used artificial intelligence and open-system interfaces, aimed to enhance maritime intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance, and targeting capabilities. The teaming was achieved through a standardized interface, enabling machine-to-machine mission planning and execution across platforms. This development was first reported by an unknown source.
