Northrop Grumman Communicates Over-the-Horizon Using Tactical Unmanned Aerial Vehicles
Northrop Grumman Corporation , in conjunction with the Office of Naval Research, has successfully demonstrated the ability to extend communications range and capability using the Killer Bee, blended wing UAV.

During the demonstration, geographically-separated, mobile ground units were tasked to communicate with each other and also with a fixed, tactical command post.

The units successfully made contact with the command post after their signals were relayed mid-air through the Killer Bee.
