The American military-industrial company Northrop Grumman managed to exchange data between a reconnaissance UAV and a fighter acting as an enemy.

Conducting conditional battles using a reconnaissance UAV with communication support made it possible to maintain communication with both a fighter and a combat surface ship, the management of the defense company said.

The US Navy's MQ-4C Triton long-range reconnaissance unmanned aerial vehicle, with an interception protection system, took part in the flight tests. The interception was modeled by an F-35 fighter jet, as well as a Grumman E-2 Hawkeye carrier-based long-range radar detection aircraft. In addition, a destroyer equipped with a multifunctional Aegis system was involved in the operation.

Thanks to the network gateway connected to the onboard radar and artificial intelligence of the Triton reconnaissance drone, the drone transmitted a radio signal to the operator. All this was made possible by the Pentagon's introduction of the Joint All-Domain Command and Control (JADC2) system of joint All-Domain Command and Control.

Here's how Northrop Vice President Ben Davis described her:

Thanks to the well-coordinated work of this unified network, it is possible to effectively manage marine platforms, while the fleet receives information on conducting the necessary combat missions.

According to the US military, the JADC2 system, which cost the state billions of dollars, makes it possible to repel any potential threat from outside much faster. This is a clear allusion to the efforts of the US Armed Forces to "contain" the Russian Federation and China, which Washington considers the most dangerous opponents militarily.
