Cummings Aerospace demonstrated simultaneous operation of two jet‑powered Hellhound S3 attack drones with a single handheld controller on August 25, 2026 at the Pendleton UAS Range in Oregon.
The drones were launched sequentially from a new launcher mounted on a Polaris utility vehicle, carried inert payloads, flew different pre‑programmed routes at different speeds, and were monitored in real time by a single operator who could adjust or abort either mission; the test marked the first vehicle‑mounted launch, first ripple‑fire launch and first time a single operator managed multiple Hellhounds through the same control system.
