Boeing and the U.S. Navy successfully flew two autonomously controlled EA-18G Growlers at Naval Air Station Patuxent River as unmanned air systems using a third Growler as a mission controller for the other two. The Growler is a two-seat airborne electronic attack aircraft variant of the Boeing F/A-18 Hornet. Over the course of four flights, 21 demonstration missions with unmanned Growlers were completed during the Navy Warfare Development Command’s annual fleet experiment (FLEX) exercises.
