Lockheed Martin Corporation has announced a significant breakthrough in air combat capability, revealing that a pilot flying an F-22 Raptor successfully controlled an uncrewed aerial system (UAS) in flight using a new open interface in the cockpit. The research results were demonstrated during a recent flight at Nellis Air Force Base, where the pilot used a pilot vehicle interface $(PVI)$ to direct the drone through a specific mission profile. This achievement highlights advances in human-machine teaming and the integration of autonomous drones with 5th generation fighters like the F-22 and F-35. The event was a live demonstration, and ongoing evaluations continue to advance the Air Force's vision for a family of interoperable systems.
