Anduril Fury

America's jet-powered semi-autonomous fighter drone — a collaborative combat aircraft designed to team with crewed fighters, carry air-to-air missiles, and provide affordable mass for the US Air Force's next-generation airpower.

Overview

The Anduril Fury, formally designated YFQ-44A by the US Air Force, is a jet-powered, semi-autonomous unmanned combat aerial vehicle developed under the Collaborative Combat Aircraft (CCA) Increment 1 program. Intended to fly alongside crewed fighters such as the F-22, F-35 and F-15EX, the aircraft functions as a “fighter drone” that carries air-to-air missiles, extends sensor reach, and absorbs tactical risk through affordable mass. Fury traces its airframe lineage to a high-performance aggressor concept by Blue Force Technologies, which Anduril acquired in 2023 and evolved into a clean-sheet combat system that achieved first flight just 556 days after contract award, an unusually rapid timeline for a fighter-class platform Anduril.
