Under Skyborg program, F-35 and F-15EX jets could control drone sidekicks
WASHINGTON — The F-35 and F-15EX fighter jets could get drone wingmen in the coming years, the U.S. Air Force’s top acquisition official revealed to Defense News.
The service is exploring ways to team Lockheed Martin’s F-35 and Boeing’s new F-15EX with the XQ-58 Valkyrie drone — a low-cost attritable fighter made by Kratos Defense — or similar unmanned platforms. Attritable systems trade attributes like “reliability and reparability” to achieve lower costs, according to the Defense Technical Information Center.
==================================
미공군이 Skyborg 전투AI 플랫폼을 F-15EX, XQ-58, F-35에 이식하는 걸 업체와 협의중.
Skyborg 전투AI 플랫폼으로 가능한것.
- XQ-58 발키리 무인기에 이식하면 F-15EX나 F-35에서 관제가능.
- F-35 블록4에 이식하면 AI가 F-35를 조종가능. 그럼 F-35조종사는 다른임무에 집중가능함.
- 유인기 4대 편대 대신에 유인기 1대 + 무인기 3대 편대가 가능함
F-35에는 블록4에 인티하길 희망.
