| USAF Doesn't Want Northrop Grumman's Stealth Drone | The U.S. Air Force rejected Northrop Grumman's design for its Collaborative Combat Aircraft (CCA) program, awarding contracts instead to privately-held General Atomics and Anduril Industries. Undeterred, Northrop Grumman is developing the YFQ-48A Talon Blue drone independently using internal R&D funding, with plans to potentially compete in the CCA program's second increment.
