Boeing Persistent Munition Technology Demonstrator Achieves Autonomous Flight
The Boeing Persistent Munition Technology Demonstrator (PMTD) flew autonomously for the first time during a test in April.




EDO Corporation funded the PMTD composite airframe development, and Boeing funded all PMTD flight tests.

Future plans include sensor integration and enhanced weapon terminal guidance demonstration, as well as possible in-flight refueling and munitions dispense testing.
