Possibly connected to this GPS jamming exercise also going on this week in Florida? : https://saidit.net/s/videos/comments/265a/feds_seizing_highend_nightvision_tubes_feds_also/

Almost certainly. A reasonable extrapolation would be that it's a training exercise for possible airstrikes against Iran, since they have GPS jamming technology. So the US military is likely testing out some type of other guidance resource for the F-18 pilots.

My guess would be that it's some type of drone or satellite type tech being transmitted to the pilot?

Yes or maybe testing the GPS functions F-18 fired missile guidance systems in a GPS jamming situation

The Navy will fly McDonnell Douglas F/A-18 Hornets from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. from Saturday through Sunday, dropping live and inert bombs at Pinecastle Range Complex in the Ocala National Forest.

Residents in surrounding communities will hear explosions and loud noises, especially fighter jets traveling at subsonic speeds.

This feels like either a training drill related to the previous post you made, or a perfect time for an oopsie to occur.

Well, what else do you expect someone to do with an F-18 and a live bomb? Dropping is what bombs are made to do.

In Florida?

Much as tens of thousands of other bombs have been dropped in Florida over the years.
