Collaborative Combat Aircraft (CCA)
Abstract
Collaborative Combat Aircraft (CCA) are un-crewed weapon systems capable of enhancing crewed weapon systems to achieve air superiority. The program matures and leverages relevant Science and Technology investments to reduce risk by conducting targeted development, integration and test activities. Key CCA attributes include tailored cost of platforms, mission integrated autonomy, multi-platform interoperability, and lethality enhancement. Program activities will include the employment of digital acquisitions through the application of digital engineering, agile software development, and open systems architectures. Funding provides information technology/test/training infrastructure investments, operational concept exploration, technology studies, multi-domain integration, operational assessments, architecture development, and multi-level prototyping as well as program management support. Program management support costs includes but is not limited to A&AS, civilian pay, supplies, and facility related expenses. This also includes risk reduction of air superiority related technologies including integrated weapons systems development and demonstration. In FY24 PE 0207179F, Project 647123 "Autonomous Collaborative Technologies" was retitled to "Collaborative Combat Aircraft" and was transferred from PE 0207179F "Autonomous Collaborative Platforms" to PE 0207110F "Next Generation Air Dominance," in order to align with the SECAF's NGAD Family of Systems Operational Imperative. Funds requested for PE 0207110F, Project 647123 in FY24 are an administrative realignment only and do not constitute a new start.
