Relevance ScoreGeneral Atomics and the US Air Force tested autonomy integration earlier this month at Edwards AFB when an F-22 Raptor commanded an MQ-20 Avenger test drone under the Collaborative Combat Aircraft program. The flight used government autonomy software and a tactical data link for real-time commands, demonstrating mission autonomy, threat engagement, and team tactics. The test informs CCA selection among competing YFQ-42, YFQ-44, and YFQ-48A prototypes.
