ST. LOUIS, June 7, 2004 – Two Boeing X-45A unmanned aircraft taxied together recently when they moved under their own power in a coordinated ground operation at NASA’s Dryden Flight Research Center, Edwards Air Force Base, Calif. A single pilot-operator controlled both of the Joint Unmanned Combat Air Systems (J-UCAS) X-45A technology air vehicles as they demonstrated a series of maneuvers, including 90-degree turns and turnarounds, at speeds of up to 20 knots. The two X-45 aircraft autonomously maintained their positions relative to each other through an inter-vehicle communication link.
