USAF advances Collaborative Combat Aircraft live-fire and BLOS strike testing

The post describes USAF progress integrating semiautonomous Collaborative Combat Aircraft (YFQ-44A/YFQ-42A) via simulations/Red Flag-style training and reports a first-ever live-fire test of an inert AIM-120 from an Anduril-made YFQ-44A plus an end-to-end beyond-line-of-sight strike against a simulated target. While not a frontline combat report, it signals emerging doctrine and tactics for manned-unmanned teaming and future increments adding sensors and distributed EW roles.
