By Theresa Hitchens on May 07, 2021 at 12:45 PM Lockheed Martin’s Project Hydra WASHINGTON: Lockheed Martin’s Skunk Works has demonstrated a capability for F-22 and F-35 fighter jets to share situational awareness data in flight via a U-2 spy plane kitted out with the company’s ‘translation’ software, says Dan Markham, Skunk Works director of JADO/BMC2. Lockheed also transmitted data from the F-35 to a ground station using a Navy datalink, TTNT, and then on from there to an Army network, IBCS. “This is really the first time that all three of those live platforms in the air were connected,” he said in an interview yesterday. ....
USAF demonstrates in-flight communication between F-35 and F-22 jets 04 May 2021 (Last Updated May 4th, 2021 16:32) The US Air Force (USAF) has demonstrated in-flight communication between F-35 and F-22 stealth jets during a flight test. Share Article The US Air Force (USAF) has demonstrated in-flight communication between F-35 and F-22 stealth jets during a flight test. The initiative, named Project Hydra, utilised an Open Systems Gateway (OSG) payload on board the U-2 spyplane to connect the fighter jets. Conducted jointly by USAF, the Missile Defense Agency and Lockheed Martin Skunk Works, the flight test involved five F-35s and an F-22 aircraft. ....
By Garrett Reim2021-05-03T23:51:00+01:00 The US Air Force’s (USAF’s) Lockheed Martin F-35 and F-22 stealth fighters passed data to one another using a communications gateway aboard a Lockheed U-2 spyplane. The F-35’s Multifunction Advanced Data Link (MADL) and the F-22’s Intra-Flight Data Link are incompatible, so the two aircraft types cannot transmit data to each other. Source: US Air Force US Air Force F-35A stealth fighter To get around that problem, the USAF, Missile Defense Agency and Lockheed used an “Open Systems Gateway” communications payload aboard a U-2 to pass data between one F-22 and five F-35s, Lockheed said on 3 May. The gateway also allowed the stealth aircraft to share data with units on the ground. And, target tracks were transmitted by and through the U-2 into the fighters’ avionics and pilot displays, the company says. ....

The XQ-58A Valkyrie is a long-range unmanned aerial vehicle capable of high subsonic speeds. It was built by Kratos Unmanned Aerial Systems for the Air Force Research Laboratory s Low Cost Attritable Aircraft Technology (LCAAT) program and first flew on March 5, 2019. The XQ-58A demonstrator completed its inaugural flight at Yuma Proving Grounds in Arizona on March 5, 2019. Air Force photo by Senior Airman Joshua Hoskins During its sixth flight test on March 26, 2021, the aircraft conducted its first payload release from its internal weapons bay, launching an Area-I ALTIUS-600 small unmanned aircraft system. The Air Force is looking at relatively inexpensive, expendable drones like the Valkyrie as potential artificial-intelligence-driven autonomous platforms that could fly alongside and support manned fighter aircraft. This is the major focus of the Skyborg program. ....
