why XQ-67A could be a unique force multiplier for the US military?
General Atomics Aeronautical Systems (GA-ASI) has flown the XQ-67A unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) for the first time, the company announced on 29 February.
The flight took place at GA-ASI's Gray Butte Flight Operations Facility, outside Palmdale, California.
Trenton White, Air Force Research Laboratory's (AFRL's) Off-Board Sensing Station (OBSS) program manager, in a statement announcing the flight said,
“Flight demonstration of this system is a major first step towards showing the ability to produce affordable combat mass,”
This test comes a year after the AFRL selected GA-ASI to build the XQ-67A under the OBSS program, intended to result in a UAV that could fly ahead of manned aircraft and pass data back, effectively extending its ability to detect and track targets. The test was financed by the AFRL.
OBSS program is also aiming to have the uncrewed aircraft designed around a common "chassis" that could then be used as the basis for other drones.
