Navy jet controls drones

Growler is 2 seat. Replacement for the EA-6B.

I think the article said they were controlling 2 F/A18G with a Super Hornet (which can be either 2 seat or single seat). I agree that would be a pretty good load to control two other aircraft in a single seater.

Doesn't say if the F/A-18 was single or two seat. Seems like a very high work load for a single-seater.

This looks interesting. Don’t quite understand how it works from this.
