Anduril YFQ-44A Fury CCA flies with F-35s and demonstrates end-to-end kill chain

Anduril says its YFQ-44A Fury Collaborative Combat Aircraft has flown in formation alongside F-35s while operating under its Mission Autonomy system, indicating live manned-unmanned teaming flight testing is underway. The article also describes a beyond-line-of-sight, offboard-track-to-engagement demonstration where Fury ingested external targeting data via Lattice autonomy and launched/guided an AIM-120, plus reduced-footprint launch/recovery and rapid hot-reload procedures—collectively advancing operational CCA concepts.
