The DDS has successfully conducted a test of using a (manned) Alpha 121A Nano Fighting Ship directing a group of Ferret UCVs. The Alpha worked with a group of 8 Ferrets using its sensors to provide targeting information for the Ferrets in a simulated combat test and the human operator was also able to prioritise threats and conduct assistance using the Alpha's ECM suite.
Further tests will be carried out but the DDS say the first test was highly successful and could point the way to future space combat scenarios where groups of Ferrets integrate with manned assets.
