A key development has taken place in the domain of manned-unmanned collaboration for aerial combat.
In a landmark demonstration hailed as “a major leap in human-machine teaming,” the U.S. Air Force successfully tested the integration of autonomous collaborative platforms (ACPs) with crewed fighter jets.
During the exercise at Eglin Air Force Base, Florida, pilots aboard an F-16C Fighting Falcon and an F-15E Strike Eagle each commanded two XQ-58A Valkyrie unmanned aircraft in a coordinated air combat training scenario.
