Raytheon’s MVCS flies two ACR Mantas from across the country in a successful command and control of unmanned vehicle systems demonstration

April 10, 2006 -- The Multiple Vehicle Control System (MVCS) developed by Raytheon for the Naval Air Systems Command controlled two Manta UAVs flying in Sierra Vista, Az. and an unmanned surface vehicle (USV) on Chesapeake Bay, Norfolk Va. in a recent demonstration. The exercise scope included the detection and engagement of an enemy force by a Special Forces team for an extraction at another location. The MVCS transmitted command and control orders among the three vehicles from a location outside of Washington D.C.

The Raytheon system, based on STANAG-4586 standards, is compatible with NATO information-sharing technology for unmanned aerial vehicles. For more details visit them at:
