The U.S. Air Force is exploring ways to utilize its future Collaborative Combat Aircraft (CCA). The service is poised to receive experimental drones.
Air Force Assistant Secretary for Acquisition, Technology, & Logistics, Andrew Hunter, announced during a defense business event, “One thing that I recently did was approve some additional CCA purchases to equip the Experimental Operations Unit [EOU] in order to enable that experimentation to happen using real assets.“
The groundwork for CCAs has been laid as organizations in the service have tested and used both crewed and uncrewed aircraft. They have also tested and evaluated advanced drone and autonomy research and development.
