“The X-47 was tested in winds of higher magnitude and differing directions than seen in previous detachments,” says Program Manager for Unmanned Carrier Aviation Capt. Beau Duarte. “This resulted in more stimulus provided to the aircraft’s guidance and control algorithms and a more robust verification of its GPS auto-land capability.”
