Two Anduril YFQ-44A uncrewed fighters complete first formation flight with multiple autonomous jets

On October 26th, two Anduril Industries YFQ-44A Fury unmanned fighter aircraft, designated as collaborative combat aircraft (CCA), successfully completed a formation flight with other autonomous jets. The flights were controlled by Shield AI’s Hivemind autonomy software for the initial operation. This marked the first time multiple CCA have flown together in a joint sortie. These CCAs logged their milestone flight as part of a US Air effort. Experts anticipate further developments and expanded capabilities from this technology.
