🚁 #Navy partners debut new duo in crewed-uncrewed teaming | US Navy pilots aboard an MH-60R Seahawk recently demonstrated command and control of an OA-2D unmanned system during a live flight over Naval Air Station Patuxent River. 🎛️ The successful experiment laid critical technology building-blocks in a step toward more connected and interoperable flight lines of the future exploring the feasibility and operational utility of air launched effects in a mission-relevant maritime environment. 💪 This event highlighted the need and ability for the H-60 community to integrate onboard command and control of unmanned systems, leveraging their employment to expand the platform capabilities and address critical mission gaps. 👥 The test was made possible by #NAWCAD’s Rapid Prototyping, Experimentation, and Demonstration team, testers and pilots from our test squadrons Air Test and Evaluation Squadron TWO ONE (HX-21) and Air Test and Evaluation Squadron TWO FOUR (UX-24), our partners at the Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC), and #VX1. #NavyPartnerships #StrongerTogether #IAmNavalAviation

Given the direction the world is heading with ISR & strike needs, carrier & short runway launch & recover is essential. GA-ASI STOL aircraft have entered the arena.
GA-ASI and the Royal Navy made aviation history by launching and recovering #MojaveUAS aboard the HMS Prince of Wales. Mojave is the first UAS in its class to take off and land on the flight deck of a naval warship, redefining what’s possible for UAS operating at sea. Equipping UAS with short takeoff and landing capability adds greater versatility, enabling the aircraft to operate in places it previously couldn’t -- including aircraft carriers. MQ-9B STOL will be capable of carrying the same payloads and conducting the same missions as the SkyGuardian and SeaGuardian, including maritime surveillance, anti-submarine warfare, airborne early warning, and surface strike.

So many possibilities with this.

When I last read about Triton, it had flight endurance of up to 24 hours. If the #royalnavy can improve the reliability of the #QueemElizabethClass aircraft carriers, systems like Triton will revolutionise #CarrierEnabledPowerProjection. Could see an increase in the number of RN engineers required, though. Of course, all these Uncrewed systems (Air, Surface & Sub-surface) will be systems engineered on an open architecture…!!??
Australia’s first MQ-4C Triton UAS will make its way in country this summer—but its first stop is Naval Air Station Patuxent River. The MQ-4C Triton AUS1 flew from Northrop Grumman Corporation’s facility in Palmdale, CA and landed safely Feb. 15 at NAS Patuxent River. Over the next few months, it will undergo final preparations before delivery to our partner nation. Triton will provide the Royal Australian Air Force with 24/7 maritime surveillance that helps monitor and protect the Indo-Pacific region.
Adds another dimension to Maritime Dominance.
A glimpse into the future... The largest drone ever launched from a Royal Navy aircraft carrier could pave the way for the naval air power of tomorrow. Aircraft similar to the uncrewed Mojave, which took off from – and landed safely back aboard – HMS Prince of Wales, could take part in missions alongside traditional crewed jets and helicopters. Mojave, which is a prototype, is capable of performing longer range surveillance/intelligence gathering missions, but also strike missions. https://lnkd.in/e_q3NWjn
[A key milestone for SonoFlash!] In November, Thales, DGA Naval Systems DGA - Direction générale de l'armement and the French Navy Marine Nationale, organized new tests of the Thales SonoFlash acoustic buoy. For the first time, the #SonoFlash acoustic buoys were released and operated from an ATL2 maritime patrol aircraft ✈️ In the field of Anti-Submarine Warfare, technological advances are crucial to guaranteeing the safety of territorial waters. In the current context of intensifying international conflict, acoustic buoy systems are playing a key role. #AntiSubmarineWarfare #sonobuoy #ATL2
This is the Fulton surface-to-air recovery system, also known as Skyhook. It is a system used by the Central Intelligence Agency, United States Air Force, and United States Navy for retrieving individuals on the ground using aircraft such as the MC-130E Combat Talon I and B-17 Flying Fortress. Had you ever heard about it before? 🤔 #midwestatc #aviation #aviationlovers #aviationgeek #aviationdaily #airplanelovers #aviationhistory #history
Integrated maritime power begins here. GA-ASI’s suite of leading UAS not only have proven their ability to connect naval forces and deliver critical real-time intel but they have redefined what’s possible. #MQ9B Learn more: https://ow.ly/S7eE50SqiTv
On 17 November 2021, Lockheed Martin F-35B Lightning II ZM152 (BK-18) of Royal Air Force (RAF) 617 Squadron, crashed into the eastern Mediterranean, during take off from HMS Queen Elizabeth. As the ship sailed past the wreckage before it sank, an intake blank was seen to float free. Was the loss of this £181.1 million fighter simply because ‘someone’ was negligent or incompetent? No. This deep dive case study demonstrates that real life is more complex. #aviation #aviationsafety #flightdeck #humanfactors #hmi #CIEHF #RAeS
