U.S. Army Successfully Test a New Joint Multi-mission Payload on the Hunter UAV

Northrop Grumman, SAN DIEGO: Northrop Grumman Corporation and the U.S. Army have successfully conducted a series of flights of the RQ-5A Hunter unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) using a new payload that will allow warfighters to more quickly adapt to battlefield changes. 
 
The 10-day demonstration, sponsored by the U.S. Joint Forces Command, illustrated the ability to use the new Adaptive Joint Intelligence payload on Hunter UAVs to share multiple types of communications simultaneously; a capability that is not yet available to warfighters in the field.
