Lockheed Martin’s Skunk Works and the U.S. Air Force have successfully tested technology that allows fighter pilots to control a drone while in flight.

The pilot used a tablet for “command and control” of the MQ‑20 Avenger combat drone during an Oct. 21 flight at the Air Force’s Nevada Test and Training Range, according to a Monday press release by MQ-20 maker General Atomics, which worked on the demonstration with F-22 builder Lockheed Martin and defense company L3Harris.

An Indian Air Force Pilatus PC-7 trainer aircraft crashed near Tambaram in Chennai’s Chengalpattu district during a routine training mission. The pilot ejected safely before the crash.
