What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

BAE Systems conducted trials at Eglin Air Force Base and Dugway Proving Ground. The test involved a modified Malloy Aeronautics’ T-150 Uncrewed Aerial System (UAS), designated TRV-150, firing laser-guided Advanced Precision Kill Weapon System (APKWS) rockets. The system used a three-pod launcher to engage successive aerial targets without needing to land and reload. The test was held in collaboration with BAE Systems’ Maryland-based partner SURVICE Engineering.
