BLUF

A successful live-fire test proved a semi-autonomous aircraft can detect, decide, and strike at range. It shows trusted teaming between crewed and un-crewed systems is shaping how air power will integrate in future conflicts.

Learning Outcomes

  • Understand how uncrewed systems can execute lethal decisions within a controlled, networked framework.
  • Recognise the value of trusted teaming between crewed platforms, sensors, and autonomous aircraft.
  • Apply lessons from live-fire testing to future force design, training, and risk management contexts.
