...They [los drones attritable acompañantes] will not replace [the USAF’s] current requirements for F-35s, B-21s, future [Next Generation Air Dominance] (NGAD) and other high-end weapon systems. Instead of replacing those capabilities, the maximum combat value will be realized by figuring out how to best combine the operations of this family of UAVs with manned systems. In other words, how to best leverage the attributes of both systems in the battlespace.”

“Given their modest payloads, these UAVs might have the greatest combat value if used for non-kinetic missions, such as electromagnetic warfare, persistent C4ISR, and other operations that can really take advantage of their force multiplying potential. The unmanned aircraft could also act as decoys or communication nodes.
...
Moreover, by allowing attritable UAVs to fly ahead into contested airspace, while sweeping the horizon for enemy fighters or acting as decoys, networked manned aircraft that are flying behind could spot and fire at adversaries from greater ranges.
The UAVs could be used for some lethal missions, however. For example, an attritable aircraft could venture close to a dangerous target when releasing a precision munition. That sort of mission might otherwise risk the life of a pilot. Moreover, a loyal wingman could serve as a guardian to a manned fighter, carrying air-to-air missiles and thus freeing space inside the weapons bay of stealth fighters for precisions munitions.

Un informe del think tank "Mitchell Institute" concluye que debido a la pequeña carga útil de los drones baratos y en masa, acompañantes (loyal wingman), de tipo "attritable", se dedicarán mejor a misiones "no letales" (ISR, EW, señuelo...). No podrán sustituir la capacidad de los aviones de combate sofisticados (caros):...They [los drones attritable acompañantes] will not replace [the USAF’s] current requirements for F-35s, B-21s, future [Next Generation Air Dominance] (NGAD) and other high-end weapon systems.

Y otra cosa os digo: los datos básicos (no los más precisos, pero sí los básicos) de alturas para el TERCOM de los 80 están hoy en día de libre acceso en multitud de proveedores.

Aparte de que con los simuladores civiles de hoy día tienes un mapeo completo terrestre. Y ni eso: con Google Maps en el modo 3D (Google Earth) y Google Street View puedes hacer "sobrevuelos virtuales 3D" de todo el planeta.

los datos y recursos que costaban millones en los 80, ahora cuestan decenas de dólares (el sensor, el dato es gratis)
el orbiter 1k... 75K por disparo. está muy bien: por el doble de coste de un switchblade, se puede recuperar y reusar. pero estamos en pleno terreno bentley
