U.S. Air Force Conducts Advanced Connectivity Trials
For the first time the F-22 and F-35 fifth-generation fighters “talked” to each other securely via datalink.
Although an XQ-58A Valkyrie “attritable” unmanned vehicle could not take part in the connectivity aspects of the recent trial due to technical failure, it was flown alongside an F-22 and F-35. (Photo: U.S. Air Force)
