US Navy Develops New Tactics for Combat Drones Using F-35 Simulations
The US Navy is leveraging F-35 Lightning II simulations at the Naval Air Warfare Center to develop new tactics for combat drones, enhancing pilot training through realistic sorties. By integrating drones as multi-role assets, the Navy aims to optimize military operations while minimizing risks and costs associated with manned aircraft. The F-35 will act as a Command and Control node, facilitating real-time data processing for autonomous drone operations under pilot oversight.

The US Navy is utilizing a digitally simulated F-35 Lightning II at the Naval Air Warfare Center in Maryland to develop new tactics for combat drones. The Joint Simulation Environment allows pilots to conduct numerous realistic sorties, enhancing training.
The Navy emphasizes multi-role capabilities for drones, integrating them into military operations to avoid tactical setbacks due to the high costs of manned aircraft. The F-35 serves as a Command and Control node, processing data in real time for drone operations, which will function autonomously under pilot command. This approach aims to maximize efficiency while maintaining stealth and minimizing risk to carriers.
