Unmanned Wingman Plan India - Indian Defence Review

Operational applications of UAVs for combat support operations and precision targeting are well established. UAVs have been tested in aerial refuelling and cargo roles. Despite AI, total UAV autonomy is still far and has legal issues. MUMT will combine the strengths and limitations of both the manned and unmanned platforms. Clearly, it combines reduced human risk, better and faster human decision making. Also, risk of loss of long range satellite link with UAV controlled from the ground gets reduced in MUMT. MUMT could use the unmanned wingman as a decoy, an early warning sensor, an airborne communication relay station, or even a Directed Energy Weapons platform. The degree of intimacy in the MUMT can be worked out based on mission requirements. The concept is highly technology and communication-link dependent.
