What the estimated initial cost to the public purse is of a single ncrewed Air Vehicle Loyal Wingman platform.
There are several military capabilities which are often publicly referred to as 'Loyal Wingmen', however the UK does not currently have a programme or platform defined as this. There are several projects, mostly at the concepts stage, that are developing Autonomous Collaborative Platforms to deliver a range of additive warfighting capabilities, including in the Air domain. The projects differ markedly in range and scale; which will therefore impact the future costs per platform, which are not yet known.
