If CCAs are supposed to be capable to engage both ground and aerial targets, then why even bother building 6th gen aircraft? Why not just build more CCAs and use AWACS planes to control and command them instead?
>>65400177Dead in the era of stealth aircrafts equipped with 400km range AA missiles.It's not Desert Storm anymore, grandpa.
>>65400177Local compute (sensor fusion, relaying data between CCAs, etc) that can't be jammed.
>>65400189why not just build stealth AWACS with passive radar and interlinked drones with active radar and jamming?
>>65400233>why not just build stealth AWACS>you called >we came
>>65400233the AWACS role will be executed by a distributed network of aircrafts, this increases the resilience of the formation instead of being dependent on a single point of failure
>>65400793It'll be performed by space AMTI.
>>65400177Why have manned fighters at all? Just spam the drones from cargo planes far behind enemy lines. Have each drone an AI core that forms a network with nearby drones, multiplying their brain power. Let the swarm do its thing.
