Collaborative Mission Autonomy: The Key to Next Gen Airpower — Ep. 273
Podcast: The Aerospace AdvantagePublished On: Sat Jan 17 2026
Description: Episode Summary: One of the most cutting-edge topics in combat airpower is collaborative mission autonomy. This is the technology that teams a crewed aircraft, like an F-35 or B-21, with an uncrewed aircraft, like a CCA. Collaboration promises to unlock greater mission effects than what either plane could realize on its own. Heather Penney explores this with Steve Fino and Ryan Bunge from Collins Aerospace.
