Boeing, the aerospace company, has successfully tested its new Airpower Teaming System (ATS) in Australia. The ATS is a communication system that connects autonomous military drones during missions, allowing them to exchange data and communicate with other platforms. During the test flights, five 3.3-meter-long drones with jet propulsion were used, and the algorithms of artificial intelligence and data connection functions for communication between the drones and other platforms worked successfully. The next step is to integrate the ATS into 11.7-meter-long drones with up to 3700 km range. These drones will be able to work autonomously with manned fighter jets or conduct their own missions. They have a modular front section that can be equipped with different sensors depending on the mission. The focus of the drones will be on surveillance and reconnaissance missions, but they will also be used for tactical early warning missions.
Boeing’s ATS is a significant development in military technology, as it allows for better collaboration between drones and manned fighter jets. The drones can work autonomously or support human pilots during dangerous missions. The successful test flights in Australia have shown that the algorithms of artificial intelligence and data connection functions for communication between the drones and other platforms work effectively. The next step is to integrate the ATS into larger drones with a longer range. These drones will be able to work autonomously or with manned fighter jets, and they will be equipped with different sensors depending on the mission. The focus of the drones will be on surveillance and reconnaissance missions, but they will also be used for tactical early warning missions.
