Kratos Defense & Security Solutions and the National Chung-Shan Institute of Science and Technology, NCSIST, announced the successful test of the integrated Mighty Hornet IV Attack UAV, a transformation of the MQM-178 Firejet target drone. Following the months of planning, design, and subsystem tests in their respective facilities, the team tested and validated the NCSIST-provided payload/mission system to confirm its operational capability with the Mighty Hornet IV aircraft without revisions to the design. This milestone established the baseline for flight testing later this year, for which the NCSIST technical team traveled to Kratos' Oklahoma City design and production facility to finalize the requirement set and design this week.
