The delivered platforms were the YFQ-44A Fury, developed by Anduril, and the YFQ-42A Vengeance, developed by General Atomics, under Increment 1, the first phase of the U.S. Air Force’s Collaborative Combat Aircraft program.
The semi-autonomous unmanned aircraft developed under the CCA program are intended to operate alongside manned fighters such as the F-35 and the F-47, which is expected to enter the U.S. Air Force inventory in the future.
