Briefing
Demonstrates an operational manned–unmanned command-and-control test—an M‑346 controlling two Baykar UAS—that advances Collaborative Combat Aircraft concepts and provides a live data point for integration and tactics development (complements recent CCA prototype work such as the USAF Talon evaluation).
Signals Leonardo’s broader push into autonomous and uncrewed systems testing, building on its recent Proteus autonomous helicopter trials and reinforcing capability expansion across crewed–uncrewed mission sets.
