F-22 issues in-flight tactical commands to YFQ-44A Fury CCA drone

The post describes a first-of-its-kind airborne demonstration where an F-22 pilot sent high-level tactical directives via datalink to a pre-production YFQ-44A Fury, whose onboard autonomy interpreted and executed them in real time. This advances manned-unmanned teaming toward operational 'quarterback' control of multiple CCAs from a fighter cockpit, a key step toward fielding autonomous wingmen.
