Virtual Strike Group Verifies New U.S. Navy Combat Capability in Complex Test
DAHLGREN, Va. - Laura San Filippo, a Navy Scan Eagle unmanned aerial vehicle operator, conducts over-the-horizon contact detection, tracking, and identification while monitoring for hostile intent at the 2016 USS Dahlgren demonstration, Aug. 30. The Scan Eagle was part of the Navy's evaluation of a strike group's gun weapon systems, combat systems, and unmanned vehicles integrated with surface and air assets. The test - made possible by a cybernetic laboratory called USS Dahlgren - proved engagement coordination across the battlegroup and live fire destruction of multiple targets from two combatants utilizing two different gun based systems.
