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.
