Following the start of flight operations by GA-ASI’s YFQ-42A unmanned fighter jet, company President David R. Alexander told UAV.com he’s now seeing near-universal recognition that uncrewed systems must make up a sizable portion of the future force across all domains. 

General Atomics is reshaping its software enterprise for the future by merging efforts from across business lines into a single technology grid -- leveraging areas such as artificial intelligence, machine learning and advanced autonomy.

Collaborative Combat Aircrafts work together and with traditional aircraft to sense what's happening, create new tactical options, and take risks on behalf of the air wing, protecting the human pilots.

Today’s Gray Eagle 25M and Gray Eagle Short Takeoff and Landing variant, also known as Gray Eagle STOL, are the most capable aircraft in their class anywhere in the world.

Congressional, military and other influential attendees are taking their first look at two revolutionary aircraft types on display at the Air Force Association's annual conference.

Additive Manufacturing (AM) is a process in which engineers take a three-dimensional computer-aided design model and virtually slice it into thousands of layers. This is sent to a printer, in which material is added one layer at a time to create a three-dimensional object.

With the ability to stay in the air for more than a day, in some configurations, as well as its multi-spectral targeting, intelligence collection, and other capabilities, MQ-9B is the highest-performing sensing platform of its kind in the world today.

Gambit is a line of low-cost, highly autonomous unmanned jets that augment the Air Force's fleet of fighters; bombers; intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance; and other mainstay aircraft.

As more aircraft of all sizes are flying around with no one on board, it's more important than ever to understand what they are and the distinctions among them. Here's what you need to know.

Two significant factors are reshaping the Arctic, contributing to increases in commercial traffic, illegal shipping and fishing operations, competition over natural resources, and militarization.
