The U.S. Navy has finished another round of carrier tests for the X-47B
Unmanned Combat Air System Demonstrator. The UAV demonstrated deck handling,
carrier landings in high winds, and control systems.
“The X-47 was tested in winds of higher magnitude and differing directions
than seen in previous detachments,” Capt. Beau Duarte, program manager for
unmanned carrier aviation, said in a Naval Air Systems Command statement. “
This resulted in more stimulus provided to the aircraft’s guidance and
control algorithms and a more robust verification of its GPS autoland
capability.”
The tests, which took place Nov. 9-19, also marked first time two X-47Bs
operated at sea at the same time. While one UAV operated around the carrier
Theodore Roosevelt, another conducted flights between ship and shore.
The Navy will continue testing of the X-47B through fiscal 2014.
