Boeing has successfully completed the first tests of new on-board autonomous command and control technology for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV), which allows them to operate without input from human pilots, the company announced. Testing took place at an airfield in Queensland, Australia and saw five UAV’s equipped with the new systems, complete airborne programmed missions as a team without any input from a human. This achievement occurred just six months after Boeing established their international autonomous systems development program in Queensland.
