Virtual Strike Group Verifies New U.S. Navy Combat Capability in Complex Test
DAHLGREN, Va. - Navy engineers Jonathan Elliott and Richard Lay conduct pre-launch check-outs of a Scan Eagle unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) at the Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division Potomac River Test Range, Aug. 30. The Scan Eagle was crucial to the Navy's evaluation of a strike group's gun weapon systems, combat systems, and unmanned vehicles integrated with surface and air assets at the 2016 USS Dahlgren demonstration. The cybernetic USS Dahlgren proved engagement coordination across the simulated battlegroup and live fire destruction of multiple targets from two combatants utilizing two different gun based systems.
