Following a first flight test earlier this year, this second flight test investigated the use of AI-based navigation sensors and enhanced algorithms for autonomous formation flight. “For the first time, we’ve tested the technologies for autonomous air-to-air refueling based on controlling and guiding multiple drones from the Multi Role Tanker Transport (MRTT) aircraft,” wrote Airbus in a post on X.
