The landscape of military aviation is swiftly changing as unmanned aircraft become increasingly integrated into combat operations. Manned-Unmanned Teaming (MUM-T), also known as CCA (Collaborative Combat Aircraft) drones or Loyal Wingmen, is becoming a crucial advancement with immense potential for global air forces. This approach offers an innovative means to bolster capabilities, ensure mission success, and minimize human risk and operational expenditures.

The idea behind collaborative combat aircraft involves incorporating autonomous unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) into manned aircraft operations. Numerous air forces globally intend to utilize these autonomous CCAs alongside their upcoming fighter aircraft to support and enhance their capabilities. These CCA wingmen are expected to undertake a variety of missions, such as target strikes, intelligence gathering, surveillance, reconnaissance, and electronic warfare.

The strategic development of a fleet of Collaborative Combat Aircraft (CCA) demands meticulous planning and design considerations. These CCAs, designed to rely less on aircrews, are anticipated to offer heightened cost-effectiveness compared to conventional manned aircraft. Termed ""attritable UAS,"" they are engineered to be reusable yet sufficiently affordable to be potentially sacrificed if required during combat missions. Some CCAs may even be designated entirely expendable, enabling deployment on high-risk missions with uncertain return outcomes.

Additionally, technological innovations and the establishment of an organizational framework within the Air Force are imperative for the operation and maintenance of these advanced aircraft. This entails the creation of specialized units and the training of airmen to proficiently collaborate with unmanned wingmen, constituting pivotal components of this transformative initiative. Through comprehensive training programs, airmen will acquire the requisite skills to seamlessly integrate manned and unmanned assets, fostering operational synergy on the battlefield.
