Marine Corps Experimental ‘Loyal Wingman’ Drone Makes First Flight
The Marine Corps conducted its first test flight of the Kratos XQ-58A Valkyrie
unmanned aerial vehicle at Eglin Air Force Base, Florida, Monday.
The flight, conducted with support from the Air Force and Navy, is the latest
Marine Corps test done as the service continues its shift towards new concepts
set forward by former Commandant Gen. David Berger under Force Design 2030. A
s part of the service-wide plans, the service is to conduct Expeditionary Adva
nced Basing Operations over long distances against near-peer opponent.
tionary and lethal capabilities in support of both the Marine Corps’ stand-in
force operations in austere environments and the Joint Force,” said Lt. Col.
Donald Kelly, from Headquarters Marine Corps Aviation Cunningham Group and Ad
vanced Development Team, in a Marine Corps press release on the test.
Valkyrie performed six test flights, which evaluated the UAV’s ability to con
duct intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR), electronic support t
o manned platforms, the potential of using artificial intelligence-enabled pla
tforms to assist combat air patrols and broader manned-unmanned teaming capabi
lities.
While the flight tests gathered information that would help inform future requ
irements, they also demonstrated the “continued joint innovation and experime
ntation opportunities” and “the agility that can be achieved through partner
ship,” said Scott Bey, a prototyping and experimentation portfolio manager at
the Office of the Undersecretary of Defense for Research and Engineering.
The Valkyrie is mostly associated with the Air Force’s Loyal Wingman program,
but the Marine Corps has taken a keen interest in a variety of systems under
the service’s expansive experimentation efforts under Force Design 2030. Krat
os’ drone can operate without a runway out to a range of about 3,000 nautical
miles with a payload of sensors or weaponry.
The service ordered two Valkyries last December and received them this spring
for testing under the Rapid Defense Experimentation Reserve program, which all
ows the services to test concepts with systems already in use in other arenas
with an emphasis on the needs of Indo-Pacific Command. The two drones are mean
t for testing purposes via the Marine Corps Penetrating Affordable Autonomous
Collaborative Killer – Portfolio (PAACK-P) program, which seeks to inform req
uirements for the Marine Air-Ground Task Force Unmanned Aerial System Expediti
onary (MUX) Tactical Aircraft (TACAIR).
In January, the Navy also ordered two Valkyries for its own experimentation pu
rposes, similar to those of the Marine Corps, with “sensor and weapon system
payloads to accomplish the penetrating affordable autonomous collaborative kil
ler,” USNI News previously reported.
The XQ-58A Valkyrie is one of several unmanned aerial systems being explored o
r invested in by the service. In August, Marine Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Squadr
on 3 (VMU 3) achieved initial operating capability with the Marine Corps’ new
MQ-9A Reaper UAV. Marines have also been seen using V-BAT and the TRV-50 Tact
ical Resupply Unmanned Aircraft System during exercises in the Western Pacific

海陸仔完成XQ-58a試飛評估偵查、支援
海陸仔覺得XQ-58a很蘇胡，很便宜很自動（無人），可以滿足海陸需求，會繼續探索打東
東的潛力。
不用跑道，3000海浬，還可以載一籃武器。
海軍也有對XQ-58a在搞便宜又大碗又可以打東東的測試。
心得感想：
四等人也完成測試惹，
看起來真的超級香香der，
航程3000海浬，還可以不用跑道，
可以載JDAM看掛載負重也足夠掛AIM-120，
造價目前才3M鎂，
佛心戰機╰(⊙Д⊙)╮佛心戰機╭(⊙Д⊙)╯佛心戰機，
他馬der給我1000架訂起來！！！注意事項：請注意版規內容。
