Boeing announced the completion of a demonstration for the U.S. Army Special Operations Command (USASOC) that integrated both air and ground unmanned systems to perform psychological operations (PSYOP) wartime missions for combatant commands.
The demonstration featured the Schiebel S-100 Unmanned Aerial System and the John Deere R-Gator Unmanned Ground Vehicle, which were used to demonstrate an electro-optical/infrared, audio, and leaflet drop mission.
According to Vic Sweberg, director of Boeing Unmanned Airborne Systems, "We brought together hardware and software from five different contractors into a single multimodal system that allowed the control of different unmanned systems capabilities to accomplish a particular mission."
