Description: Anchors aweigh for #MQ25! The unmanned aerial refueler recently tested its ability to seamlessly integrate into U.S. Navy carrier operations. During the demonstration, Navy flight deck directors — or "yellow shirts," as they're also known — used standard hand signals to move the T1 test asset, just as they would with any other carrier-based aircraft. But, instead of a pilot receiving the commands, a Boeing MQ-25 deck handling operator beside the yellow shirt used a new handheld device to control the refueler's deck movements.
