U.S. Air Force personnel have tested a portable C2E system designed for ground control of a group of advanced Collaborative Combat Aircraft (CCA) drones. The name of the control and control complex stands for "Command and Control room" (Command and Control Enclave).
This was reported in the press service of the American Air Force.
The test was conducted by the 178th Air Wing of the Ohio National Guard at the Springfield Air Force Base. During the testing, the situation of difficult conditions was simulated, simulating real combat situations. The main focus was on confirming the mobility and compactness of the device. These characteristics allow you to quickly deploy and operate a control system anywhere in the world. In addition, the operation of the software and the reliability of the connection were checked.

One of the leaders of the CCA program, Lieutenant Colonel Gregory Ticket of the United States Air Force, noted:
It is expected that the US Air Force will receive the first batch of autonomous CCA drones, controlled from mobile unequipped positions, by 2029. This will reduce the dependence of the US military on the presence of large air bases in a particular region.
