Northrop Grumman Successfully Flight Demonstrates New Mission Management Control System for Unmanned Aircraft Systems

RQ-4 Global Hawk |Northrop Grumman Corporation successfully flew a RQ-4 Global Hawk unmanned aircraft for the first time using open architecture-based command and control software and hardware developed by the company, moving the company one step closer to offering its common Mission Management Control System (MMCS) product, which can be implemented across various unmanned aircraft systems (UASs) to improve mission effectiveness and reduce training requirements.

The flight demonstration was conducted last December, and was sponsored by the U.S. Air Force's Global Hawk Program Office as part of the Ground Station Technical Refresh contract.

The MMCS used for the demonstration was comprised of hardware and software developed by the company's Common Mission Management System (CMMS) product center. The MMCS is based upon an open, nonproprietary, standards-based, scalable, common architecture and service descriptions.
