USAF designates Northrop Grumman's Talon YFQ-48A and accepts self‑funded entry into CCA Increment 2
The USAF has designated Northrop Grumman's Talon uncrewed prototype as YFQ‑48A and accepted the company's self‑funded entry into the Collaborative Combat Aircraft program as Increment 2 begins. The service called Talon a "strong contender," adding Northrop as a third competitor alongside firms with prior R&D awards.
