Lab test shows P-8A Poseidon crews can task simulated MQ-4C Triton via common command-and-control interface
Boeing and Northrop Grumman reported a laboratory-based test demonstrating common command-and-control architectures allowing a P-8A operator to issue mission tasking to a simulated MQ-4C Triton. The simulated Triton autonomously planned a transit, employed sensors, processed findings onboard using AI, and reported results back to the P-8A.
