Lockheed Martin’s Skunk Works, the legendary design shop behind many of the U.S. military’s most advanced aircraft, has unveiled its latest creation: the Vectis air combat drone. Billed as a high-end, survivable, and adaptable Collaborative Combat Aircraft (CCA), Vectis represents Lockheed’s latest push to redefine the future of unmanned systems. The announcement signals a fresh bid by Skunk Works to stay at the center of the next generation of air combat, after its earlier stealth-heavy CCA design failed to secure a contract in the U.S. Air Force’s first competition round.
Skunk Works’ history with stealth drones goes back decades. From the RQ-170 Sentinel to classified projects still hidden from view, Lockheed has quietly advanced the art of unmanned stealth. Vectis is the latest public expression of that lineage, signaling how much the company wants to dominate this emerging sector.
