The U.S. Air Force awarded production contracts to General Atomics and Anduril to build its first fleet of semi-autonomous Collaborative Combat Aircraft, advancing the program from prototype to full-scale manufacturing just over two years after launch. The contract win is a meaningful step for the defense-tech suppliers and underscores accelerating adoption of autonomous military systems.
