00:08.810 --> 00:10.588
A collaborative combat aircraft

00:10.588 --> 00:12.960
platform , or CCA conducted flight

00:12.960 --> 00:15.182
testing at a California test location .

00:15.359 --> 00:17.415
This new unmanned aircraft could one

00:17.415 --> 00:19.359
day fly alongside new and existing

00:19.359 --> 00:21.526
crude fighter jets and be equipped for

00:21.526 --> 00:23.637
air to air and air to ground combat ,

00:23.637 --> 00:25.470
electronic warfare , targeting ,

00:25.470 --> 00:27.359
intelligence , surveillance , and

00:27.359 --> 00:29.415
reconnaissance . This milestone test

00:29.415 --> 00:31.581
took place less than 2 years since the

00:31.581 --> 00:33.748
program began and provided information

00:33.748 --> 00:35.859
on the aircraft's safety , autonomy ,

00:35.859 --> 00:38.081
and mission system integration . CCA is

00:38.081 --> 00:40.248
a key component of the next generation

00:40.248 --> 00:42.248
air dominance family of systems and

00:42.248 --> 00:44.303
reflects a new model for software to

00:44.303 --> 00:47.479
find modular airpower . The first

00:47.479 --> 00:49.646
flight using an alternative navigation

00:49.646 --> 00:51.529
software aboard an Osprey Mark 3

00:51.529 --> 00:53.610
unmanned aircraft took place at Duke

00:53.610 --> 00:55.499
Field near Eglin Air Force Base ,

00:55.499 --> 00:57.900
Florida . This test examined the

00:57.900 --> 01:00.122
feasibility of providing an aircraft or

01:00.122 --> 01:02.500
weapon with its own internal GPS rather

01:02.500 --> 01:04.722
than using external sources , which are

01:04.722 --> 01:06.889
prone to issues that deny the aircraft

01:06.889 --> 01:08.889
the ability to maneuver in a combat

01:08.889 --> 01:10.889
environment . The long-term goal of

01:10.889 --> 01:13.111
alternative navigation is for the force

01:13.111 --> 01:15.278
to gain a new capability navigating in

01:15.278 --> 01:17.556
contested environments with a low size ,

01:17.556 --> 01:21.449
weight , power and cost solution . A

01:21.449 --> 01:24.199
new HH60W Jolly Green 2 rescue

01:24.199 --> 01:25.921
helicopter conducted the first

01:25.921 --> 01:28.143
overwater countermeasure test during an

01:28.143 --> 01:30.143
engagement with an F-15D Eagle near

01:30.143 --> 01:32.032
Moffett Air National Guard Base ,

01:32.032 --> 01:34.032
California . This first of its kind

01:34.032 --> 01:36.199
aerial engagement simulated real world

01:36.199 --> 01:38.199
scenarios to test the Jolly Green's

01:38.199 --> 01:39.866
countermeasures and defensive

01:39.866 --> 01:41.810
capabilities against modern aerial

01:41.810 --> 01:43.977
threats over water . Test data will be

01:43.977 --> 01:46.143
used for future training and equipment

01:46.143 --> 01:47.755
upgrades aimed at increasing

01:47.755 --> 01:49.921
survivability of rescue helicopters as

01:49.921 --> 01:52.143
the Jolly Green replaces the HH60G pave

01:52.143 --> 01:54.310
Hawk . That's your look around the Air

01:54.310 --> 01:56.199
Force . I'm Senior Airman Spencer

01:56.199 --> 01:56.690
