General Atomics has introduced the Wildfire, a lower-cost uncrewed aircraft designed for large-scale production and deployment. The Wildfire has a range of 8,000 nautical miles and can carry two LRASM missiles. It is being pitched as an alternative to the MQ-9A for the U.S. Air Force.
The Wildfire's capabilities and lower cost could make it an attractive option for the U.S. Air Force, potentially enhancing its unmanned aerial capabilities. Its range and missile capacity also suggest potential applications in long-range strike and reconnaissance missions.
