Raytheon will undergo formal Operational Evaluation with Fire Scout in [[fiscal year]] 2008. Until then, tests to determine the progress of the system's development are ongoing. So far, there have been some positive results including:
*December, 2004 - A scaled down laptop version of TCS, the [[Multiple Vehicle Control System]] (MVCS), was able to control two UAVs flying over [[Arizona]] simultaneously. In addition to the two Arizona UAVs, the MVCS was also able to simultaneously control an unmanned surface vessel operating on [[Chesapeake Bay]] near [[Norfolk, Virginia|Norfolk, Va]].
*January, 2005 - The '''TCS''' system was able to complete a vertical shipboard landing on a moving target, the US Navy ship [[USS Nashville (LPD-13)|USS ''Nashville'']], independent of any pilot. This was the first time such a feat had ever been achieved.
*[[April 10,]] [[2006]] /PRNewswire/ -- Raytheon Company has successfully simulated simultaneous command and control of two unmanned air vehicles ([[UAV]]) and an unmanned surface vehicle from one common control system.
