REVEALED: US 6th Generation Drone Will Enter Service by Early 2030s!Welcome back to Skyward Fighter—your top source for everything aviation and military tech!. The future of aerial warfare is closer than ever. The United States Air Force is pushing forward with its Next Generation Air Dominance (NGAD) program, and at the heart of this initiative is a game-changing development—the Collaborative Combat Aircraft (CCA). This revolutionary drone system is designed to redefine air superiority, and now, we have official designations for the two prototypes leading the charge. Last year, defense contractors Anduril and General Atomics Aeronautical Systems (GA-ASI) secured contracts to continue developing these next-generation unmanned aerial systems (UAS). Now, these groundbreaking aircraft have passed a critical milestone, positioning them for flight testing this year. The Air Force has officially named GA-ASI’s prototype the YFQ-42A and Anduril’s counterpart the YFQ-44A—marking a historic step forward in autonomous combat aviation.
