And here we are. 2 shooters, 2 EW, 2 off-board sensors. Here it is from the horses mouth, so to speak. ************************************************** shooters The NGAD and CCAs are “on different timelines,” Hunter said, although they are “obviously closely related to one another as part of a family of systems.”
Nearly 3 years ago, I explained to the forum that the forum that the CCA / Loyal Wingman would be a six-ship formation for each manned platform, and that there were exquisite sensors 'out there' ready to rock and roll.
Lt. Gen. Richard G. Moore Jr., deputy chief of staff for plans and programs, also set the top three missions of the CCAs, in order, as:
electronic warfare platforms
sensor-carrying aircraft
