通用原子学周一宣布，其YFQ-42A的地面测试始于本月早些时候，预计该协作战斗机将在今年夏天首次飞行。 “这反映了与美国空军多年的合作伙伴关系，该伙伴关系推动了世界各地的美国及其盟友的无人战斗航空，我们很高兴能开始进行地面测试并转向第一次飞行。”该公告是空军于5月1日的启示之后的启示，即Anduril Industries的CCA，Anduril Industries的CCA，YFQ-44AA，YFQ-44A，也开始了地面测试。 Anduril还希望其CCA在今年夏天开始飞行测试。CCAS是未螺旋的半自主无人机，将与F-35和F-47这样的飞机并肩飞行，也称为下一代空中优势。他们的目的是扩大空军有限的船员战斗机和执行任务的范围，例如罢工行动，侦察，电子战，并作为诱饵。研究实验室于2024年飞行，测试了“平台共享”构建概念。 That drone was built on a chassis that could be used as a foundation for multiple drones, which the company and AFRL said could allow drones to be built en masse and more cheaply.Anduril’s YFQ-44A was previously called Fury, and the company uses its Lattice operating system for its autonomous capabilities.The service posted a graphic last week that said these first CCAs would have a combat radius of more than 700 nautical miles and stealth comparable to the F-35。空军希望至少有1,000 ccas。
