CCA evolution continues as F-22 takes control of YFQ-44A

Lockheed Martin’s F-22 stealth fighter recently achieved airborne control over an Anduril YFQ-44A collaborative combat aircraft (CCA) during testing earlier this month. This successful demonstration highlights the potential for CCA missions to be directed by the USAF's top fighter assets. The work represents ongoing efforts focused on developing mission autonomy capabilities within these advanced platforms. Specifically, the tests showcased a CCA performing under the command of the F-22 Raptor. Further development and refinement are anticipated as this technology continues its evolution.
