The Air Force’s Collaborative Combat Aircraft effort has moved from development into serial production, with General Atomics and Anduril now building the FQ-42A and FQ-44A on production lines. Anduril’s first Fury airframe rolled out at Arsenal-1 in Ohio, while General Atomics has shifted Dark Merlin into full-scale manufacturing, giving the program an industrial base before operational fielding. The cadence points to a rapid scale-up model built around semi-autonomous combat aircraft, low unit cost, and high-rate throughput rather than boutique aerospace production. For the sector, the signal is clear: CCA is no longer a paper concept or flight-test bridge, but a procurement line with hardware moving through it.
