Lockheed Martin and General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI) successfully demonstrated their solution for the U.S. Navy's Broad Area Maritime Surveillance (BAMS) Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) program at a recent flight exercise off San Diego. The team's solution — built around a proven air vehicle system, established sensors and network communications capabilities — is designed to expand the Navy's ability to conduct broad area maritime surveillance and provide persistent Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR).This flight was the first time that a 360-degree maritime surface search radar was demonstrated on an U.S.-made remotely piloted aircraft. The system is configured for an operator to direct the aircraft operating in an autonomous mode by point-and-click commands while simultaneously controlling the radar and dayight electro-optic video cameras.
