BAE Systems has unveiled Brontanax, an uncrewed and autonomous Collaborative Combat Aircraft (CCA) developed for the Royal Air Force…
The platform is designed to provide electronic warfare (EW) and precision strike capabilities against both aerial and ground targets.
The Brontanax CCA is intended to conduct joint missions alongside front-line combat aircraft, including the Eurofighter Typhoon.
