US Navy integrates autonomous Collaborative Combat Aircraft with F-35s in Joint Simulation Environment
The US Navy has digitally integrated autonomous Collaborative Combat Aircraft (CCA) with Lockheed Martin F‑35 fighters inside the Joint Simulation Environment, enabling F‑35 pilots to task and operate uncrewed wingmen. The work is creating new manned–unmanned tactics as the service prepares to field CCAs alongside conventional combat jets.
