Performance Drone Works (PDW), a U.S. AI and drone technology company, demonstrated an interesting concept where its proprietary C100 quadcopter was used to lase targets for the F-35.
The demonstration involved the fifth-generation stealth fighter jet working in tandem with a UAS to conduct precision air strikes on targets.
This integration represents a next-generation air combat doctrine where target illumination and munition guidance are no longer dependent on manned aircraft and could be performed by low-cost, expendable drones.
In this video, Defense Updates analyzes why PDW C100 quadcopter cuing F-35 for strikes will revolutionize warfare?
