XQ-67A drone tests sensors and BLOS links for US Air Force
The US Air Force flew its XQ-67A uncrewed aircraft at the Nevada Test and Training Range, demonstrating integrated mission systems and beyond-line-of-sight data links. The test combined sensors, mission computers, power and thermal hardware, and LVC simulations to validate autonomous architectures for crewed-uncrewed teaming.
