US EditionBAE, Lockheed Martin Plan Large Jammer Drone as Door Opener in Combat
The collaboration aims to create modular uncrewed aerial systems with electronic warfare and attack roles, enhancing combat aircraft survivability and offering rapid, cost-effective deployment, officials said.
- On 9 September 2025 at the DSEI defense exhibition in London, BAE Systems FalconWorks and Lockheed Martin Skunk Works announced a partnership to develop autonomous uncrewed air systems focused on electronic warfare.
- The partnership builds on over 12 months of collaboration to create modular, adaptable systems addressing evolving battlefield demands and electronic attack roles.
- The systems will weigh about one tonne, carry varied payloads, and launch from air drop, ground, maritime, or wide-body logistics aircraft for operational flexibility.
- Executives emphasized delivering cost-effective, rapidly fielded, and easily deployable solutions, with Holmes calling the partnership's capabilities disruptive for defense customers.
- The collaboration suggests expanding manned-unmanned teaming with planned flight-test activity next year, reflecting growing military needs for modular autonomous systems.
