DroneHunter from FortemTech - an AESA air to air radar allowing the system to intercept in all weather.

With more than 4,500 drone captures, the DroneHunter® F700 is a counter-UAS weapon with real field success. Fully autonomous, radar-guided, and purpose-built for superior speed and agility, it stops rogue drones day and night without resulting in costly collateral damage.

DroneHunter® UAVs can act alone or in cooperation with multiple units to protect large restricted areas. The F700 is a highly versatile platform that can be outfitted with various payloads and countermeasures. It capably mitigates both Group-1 and large Group-2 drones.

USAF begins Bandit build

The US Air Force (USAF) has begun building an unmanned ‘Aggressor' aircraft, dubbed Bandit.

The Air Force Research Laboratory Aerospace Systems Directorate (AFRLASD) announced the event on 9 March, saying it has awarded a Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) contract to Blue Force Technologies to develop the system to support adversary air (ADAIR) training missions.

“Under the Bandit programme, Blue Force Technologies, a small aerospace and defence company based in North Carolina, will mature a high-performance unmanned air vehicle design that pilots of [US] Air Force fighter aircraft can use to train against. The air vehicle is a part of a proposed autonomy-based system providing adversary air training for [US] Air Force, [US] Navy and [US] Marine Corps fighter crews at greatly reduced costs compared to current manned capabilities,” the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio said.

Blue Force Technologies (BFT) and the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) have successfully completed a ground test for a novel carbon fiber composite propulsion flow path system for BFT’s Fury uncrewed fighter under the AFRL Bandit program...

"Kis" F-16 ihletésű Loyal Wingman? :)
Szép, tiszta vonalú gép, tetszik.

Ettől a szimpátiámtól függetlenül ma már nem az aerodinamika/"lopakodás" a döntő --ami elsődlegesen, külsőleg látszik/--, hanem a "belső tulajdonságok", azon belül is a szoftver(es szenzor-fúzió, "PöLö") a döntő!
... 5-10 év múlva pedig a szoftveren belül is --már most kockázat nélkül jósolhatóan-- az AI/MI !!!

Eaglet - Air-Launched Drone

Eaglet Aims To Help Its Mothership Survive
Eaglet could keep existing large, slow, unstealthy drones relevant over the battlefield by working to decoy, jam, and attack threats to them.

Eaglet Takes Its First Flight...

General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI) flew a new survivable Air-Launched Effect (ALE) for the first time as part of a flight demonstration based out of the Dugway Proving Grounds, Utah, on Dec. 8, 2022.
The ALE, known as Eaglet, was launched from a U.S. Army MQ-1C Gray Eagle Extended Range (GE-ER) Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS). The Eaglet flight was jointly funded by GA-ASI and the U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development (DEVCOM) Army Research Laboratory (ARL) and Aviation & Missile Center (AvMC).
