The U.S. Navy has doubled its operational capacity for the MQ-25A Stingray unmanned aircraft by adding a second MD-5C Ground Control Station powered by Lockheed Martin's MDCX autonomy platform. This system enhances mission planning and execution, allowing Navy operators to extend carrier air wing reach and free manned aircraft for higher-priority missions. Installed on carriers USS Theodore Roosevelt and USS Ronald Reagan, the MDCX platform represents a ready-now, open-architecture command and control solution, advancing the integration of unmanned carrier aviation into the fleet. This development strengthens the Navy's operational flexibility and prepares it for future air combat scenarios.
