The future of aerial warfare may no longer be decided by fighter jets alone. Militaries worldwide are rapidly investing in autonomous drones, loyal wingman systems, and AI-driven swarm warfare designed to overwhelm enemy air defences before manned aircraft even enter the battlefield. The strategy is clear: deploy low-cost unmanned systems first, saturate radar and missile networks, and reduce risks for pilots and high-value fighters. India is now moving in the same direction with HAL’s CATS program, where the ALFA-S swarm drones are emerging as a key part of the country’s next-generation unmanned combat strategy.
