USAF Sees '100 Roles' for Its Robot Wingmen—and Firms Are Lining Up to Make Them
Citat:The Air Force has said it is planning to buy 1,000 CCAs: 300 F-35s will get two drones apiece, as will 200 of the planned Next Generation Air Dominance, or NGAD, aircraft. The service wants $500 million for CCAs in its 2024 spending request—one of a dozen new starts is asking Congress to greenlight. Air Force Secretary Frank Kendall said he wants CCA production to start before the end of the decade and reach operational capability in a “comparable” timeline with the NGAD program
Taj ex mi je cirkus, isti kao sto arapi dobijaju, samo bez mawsa i sl dzidzabidza. A posto je usaf rekao da nije nesto zainteresovan, dace ga nacionalnoj gardi. I to po 100miliona komad. A posto je dvosed, a garda ima manjak pilota, vozice ga jedan covek.
Cist primer korupcije i davanja para boingu da i oni zarade nesto.
Plus slika da tako kazem laze. Postoje samo dva ispitna komada i jedan jedini pravi EX koji je neki dan izasao na dvoriste firme. Ona dva ispitna su bili namenjeni arapima, samo ih je boing skinuo sa proizvodne trake i dao na testiranje.
Dakle, EX jos ni prava ispitivanja nije prosao a ne da je 2016 dobio IOC
Uzimaju dva Bombardier Global 6500 oni bi trebali da zamene MC-12 i RC-12
Citat:Under the project name Athena-R, the United States Army has awarded a contract to MAG Aerospace (and its partner L3Harris) to deliver two Bombardier Global 6500 aircraft, modified for Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) missions.
This is a big step in the replacement of the existing fleet of MC-12 and RC-12 turboprop aircraft by a modern and more capable platform. The Global 6500 aircraft will provide the US Army with a Theater-level, High-Altitude and Long-Range Expeditionary ISR platform.
Three programmes are currently running to modernise the US Army ISR fleet:
ARTEMIS - Airborne Reconnaissance Targeting Exploitation Mission Intelligence System
ARES - Airborne Reconnaissance and Electronic Warfare System
ATHENA - Army Theatre Level, High-Altitude Expeditionary Next Airborne
