SAN DIEGO, CA, Apr 25, 2024 - (ACN Newswire) - General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI) has been selected to build production representative flight test articles of the Collaborative Combat Aircraft (CCA) for the U.S. Air Force Life Cycle Management Center's (AFLCMC) Advanced Aircraft Division.
This option contract award by the Advanced Aircraft Division exercises the critical design, build, and flight test on the existing CCA contract with GA-ASI following an initial six-month phase that culminated in a successful CCA preliminary design review (PDR) earlier this year.
Since then, this prototype for CCA has successfully completed two additional test flights, laying the groundwork for a successful production and flight test program.
GA-ASI's CCA production representative design is based upon the XQ-67A Off-Board Sensing Station developed by GA-ASI for the AFRL.
