DARPA completes autonomous airborne refuelling demonstration (PDF)
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) completed its Autonomous Airborne Refueling Demonstration (AARD) program this month, showing that unmanned aircraft can autonomously perform in-flight refueling under operational conditions.
NASA test pilot Dick Ewers found the final configuration of the AARD software demonstrated this year flew "better than a skilled pilot."
