Abstract
- The article focuses on Lockheed Martin's Minion Unmanned Vehicle is being designed with an even stealthier radar cross section than the F/A-22 Raptor and F-35 Joint Strike Fighter. The initial concept of operations is that a two-ship formation would launch and control four vehicles. Since F/A-22s have only one crewman, it is likely that one pilot would monitor the vehicles while the other maintained situational awareness of threats on the airborne battlefield. Nonetheless, the pilot workload is expected to be less than that required for an AIM-120 air-to-air missile launch.
