An F-22 pilot directs Anduril's Fury in flight

The Air Force said on Oct. 16 that an F-22 pilot directed a single YFQ-44A in flight earlier this month, with the drone's autonomy software flying dynamic maneuvers and simulated combat tasks. Anduril vice president Mark Shushnar told Air and Space Forces the Fury and the F-22 launched from Edwards during the week of Oct. 5, joined in the air, and that the pilot sent an updated mission plan over a tactical data link. The Air Force release does not give the day or the base.
