An autonomous system for hose-and-drogue air-to-air refueling was developed and flight-tested between May 2005 and August 2006. Ten flights were flown, culminating with the successful autonomous refueling engagement on the final flight on August 30, 2006. The goal of the project was to develop and flight-test an autonomous airborne refueling demonstration (AARD) engagement using the Navy style hose-and-drogue air-to-air refueling method.
