  CCAs or collaborative combat aircraft are the new hotness in military aviation. Basically smaller unmanned fighter jets that work alongside a traditional manned fighter. The idea is that you can have maybe 4 or 5 fighter jets worth of capability but only one of them has a human pilot on board. So the manned fighter can hang back and tell a farther forward one to fire a missile. Is it a wunderwaffen? Is it a boondoggle? Idk man

  Some of the constraints imposed on fighter jets is life support and G-force limitations for the pilot. Removing the pilot and allowing an on-board computer handle things in the moment (e.g. dogfights) gives an unmanned jet the upper hand.

  It’s obviously a step toward completely automated war machines, but that’s the justification for the “unmanned fighter jet”
