Original: अमेरिकी नौसेना
The US Navy is drawing attention after details emerged of new Boeing software that allows fighter pilots to control the MQ-25 Stingray, the Navy's carrier-based drone tanker, mid-flight. The system would let crewed aircraft direct the unmanned refueler during missions, expanding how carriers operate drones alongside jets. Interest is strongest in India, where US naval aviation developments attract wide coverage.
Why now: Fresh reporting on Boeing software that lets fighter pilots control the Navy's MQ-25 drone tanker has sparked interest in its implications for naval aviation.
