Aircraft program
Stealthy, high-performance, low-cost, unmanned combat aerial vehicle (UCAV) capable of long-range flights at high-subsonic speeds designed and buily by Kratos originally for the U.S. Air Force's Low-Cost Attritable Strike Demonstrator program. Includes 2026 Kratos / Northrop Grumman MUX TACAIR CCA variant with Northrop Grumman autonomy software and mission kit for US Marine Corps, and Airbus UCCA (Uncrewed Collaborative Combat Aircraft) family.
The aircraft as engineered: what it is built from, the systems it flies with, and its configuration — each box a theme.
Technical reference compiled with AI research; a value appears only where two independent research passes and a web fact-check agree. Gaps are deliberate.
