Recently, BAE Systems, a British aerospace and defense company, has been negotiating with Japanese partners on possible cooperation in the development of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) for use in fighter aircraft. This collaboration could be part of a broader project to develop the next generation of fighter jets.
The main goal of such negotiations is the integration of unmanned technologies into the next generation of aviation systems. Smaller unmanned aircraft can be used as “faithful satellites” for fighter jets, providing suppression of enemy air defenses and reconnaissance before warplanes enter dangerous areas. This will reduce the risks for manned aircraft and enhance their combat capabilities.
BAE Systems already has experience in developing unmanned systems and integrating them into aircraft systems. For example, the company is developing the concept of “combined” drones capable of being produced on board aircraft using 3D printing. In addition, BAE plans to use its developments in international projects such as the Global Combat Air Program (GCAP), which includes the joint development of the sixth generation of fighter aircraft with the participation of Japan, Italy and the United Kingdom.
The introduction of unmanned technologies into aviation systems can significantly change military strategies. UAVs can perform tasks of suppressing enemy air defenses, providing reconnaissance and delivering pinpoint strikes. This is especially true in modern conflicts, where the use of small and medium-sized drones has already demonstrated its effectiveness.
