This cost-effectiveness, combined","user_input","agent","XQ-58A VALKYRIE","KEY BENEFITS The XQ-58A Valkyrie is a high speed, long range, low cost unmanned platform designed to offer maximum utility at minimum cost. This aircraft falls under the AFRL Low Cost Attritable Aircraft Technology portfolio. The XQ-58A was successfully designed, built, and demonstrated after a period of only two and a half years from contract award to first flight. WHY IS IT IMPORTANT? Designing, building, and operating a traditional, highend air vehicle for certain missions is often impractical in terms of cost and human risk. The employment of a class of attritable aircraft like the XQ-58A provides the warfighter the opportunity to project air power with mass, complexity, and unpredictability. The vision is that these aircraft will be used in a fractionated networked battlespace, forcing a cost- imposing effect on future adversaries. WHAT IS IT? The XQ-58A Valkyrie is a low cost, high performance unmanned air vehicle developed through an Air Force Research Laboratory partnership with Kratos Defense & Security Solutions, Inc. This low-maintenance, reusable vehicle is an example of an “attritable” aircraft designed to be used for several missions, XQ-58A Valkyrie pictured during second test flight on June 11, 2019. Photo Credit: 2nd Lt Randolph Abaya, 586 Flight Test Squadron. HOW DOES IT WORK? The XQ-58A was developed through low-cost procurement and designed to be significantly less expensive to operate than traditional piloted or unpiloted vehicles. FLIGHT TESTS After a rapid and agile design and build of two and a half years from contract award, the XQ-58 completed its first flight on March 5, 2019. On January 23, 2020, the aircraft completed its 4th flight meeting all of the flight `test objectives. To reduce risk to the development and maturation of artificial intelligence capabilities, AFRL led a successful three-hour sortie, July 25, 2023, demonstrating the first-ever flight of AFRL-developed, machine-learning trained, artificial intelligence algorithms on ...","https:\u002F\u002Fafresearchlab.com\u002Ftechnology\u002Fxq-58a-valkyrie\u002F","oeqxkhszf","oeqxkhszf_layer","base","normal_agent","20003020175139606812600000000813","NONE","770efdefaddebfa09ab9285084bc4114","review stocks","Kratos Defense & Security Solutions","stock","185","Kratos Defense & Security's (KTOS) XQ-58A Valkyrie drone technology has the potential to be a game-changer in the global market, particularly due to its innovative design, low cost, and advanced capabilities.
