U.S. Navy seeks carrier-based combat drones with 1,000 nautical mile unrefueled strike radius

The U.S. Navy issued a broad request for information for an Air Wing of the Future family of uncrewed systems, including carrier-based drones able to deliver effects at least 1,000 nautical miles from a carrier without aerial refueling. The notice references integration with existing unmanned carrier aviation control systems and includes the MQ-25A Stingray as part of the envisioned family of platforms.
