Future of Unmanned Aerial Combat Lies in the Development of Self-Forming Combat Aircraft
According to Military Aerospace, the Air Force Research Laboratory Information Directorate has announced a project called Aerial Layering Networking & Transmission Technologies to transition towards a more on-demand, self-forming, and self-healing aerial layer network. Air Force researchers say the current layer networking process requires careful planning and limited interoperability.
The Aerial Layer Networking & Transmission Technologies project is a follow-up to a previous Air Force project.
