GRDCS QF-16 brains

Jeff Gibson, Government Team Lead and Jeff Stebbins, Gulf Range Drone Control System contractor and QF-16 Integration Team Lead operate the software their 15-man team developed for the Air Force's newest aerial target drone. The console they operate in their lab at Eglin is replicated in the field and operated by QF-16 controllers who are testing the new program at Tyndall Air Force Base, Fla. GRDCS is a critical component of the QF-16 capability, serving as the ground-based computer system that tracks and controls the full-scale aerial target from takeoff to landing.
