The study is part of a larger Automated Aerial Refueling program led by Air Force Research Laboratory. AAR is using two of Dryden's highly instrumented F/A-18s. The first aircraft (No. 847) has been modified into a tanker by fitting it with an aerial refueling pod similar to that used by the NAVY on S-3 Vikings and F/A-18E/Fs.
