Kratos Defense & Security Solutions has successfully completed advanced flight tests of the XQ-58A Valkyrie unmanned combat aerial vehicle (UCAV). In collaboration with the U.S. Marine Corps, Air Force, and Navy, the Valkyrie demonstrated its ability to integrate with crewed fighter jets like the F-35B and F-15E/EX. Designed as a cost-effective, attritable force multiplier, the XQ-58A enhances mission flexibility, survivability, and lethality. Featuring autonomous systems and versatile payloads, it plays a key role in future multi-domain operations, supporting precision targeting and reducing risk for crewed platforms. This successful test marks a significant milestone in unmanned aerial system development.
