Indian startup Flying Wedge Defence & Aerospace announced the FWD Supreme, an AI-piloted combat aircraft concept.
Key features include:
- fully AI-controlled flight
- autonomous mission execution
- sensor fusion
- swarm operations under its “Mobbing Doctrine”
- first demonstrator flight targeted for Q3 2026
While still early, it illustrates how autonomous combat aviation is expanding beyond traditional aerospace powers.
Why it matters: AI-native combat aircraft are becoming a global race rather than being limited to the U.S., Europe, and China.
