Airbus presented a model of its new fighter-type drone, the Wingman, at the ILA Berlin Air Show.
The drone would be an "unmanned escort for manned fighter jets," Airbus said in a statement, noting that it is designed to operate in a similar way to an actual wingman.
The drone, which can be commanded by fighter jet pilots, can be deployed on riskier missions which could post a threat to manned aircraft. Unmanned drones and aircraft have become a key feature of modern warfare. They offer efficiency and greater range, as they do not require the capacity to carry crew and don't need any safety features or similar support systems.
