I don’t think they do auto-landings.

They don't, but the autopilot could use some tweaks. Like turning on a transponder after an ejection while on a training run.

It's surprising they didn't know exactly where it was at all times. I'd assume it already had GPS transmitter or something on? Maybe they don't, for stealth. But wouldn't the FAA know where it is?
