US Air Force Drone Fires Live Air-to-Air Missile in Historic First Test
The US Air Force's YFQ-44A Fury drone successfully conducted its first live launch of an AMRAAM air-to-air missile, marking a milestone in unmanned combat aviation. This was the first live missile firing by a US Collaborative Combat Aircraft, a class of drones designed to work alongside crewed jets. Anduril's Lattice software powered the autonomous mission execution and target engagement during the test. Other countries, including Turkey and Australia, are also developing comparable unmanned combat aircraft capabilities. The milestone signals a broader shift toward autonomous platforms taking on central roles in modern aerial warfare.
