Info: The Infoglobal Unmanned Combat Aerial Vehicle/Loyal Wingman Hybrid, designed for the Oceania Republic, represents a groundbreaking advancement in unmanned aerial technology. This hybrid drone combines the capabilities of an Unmanned Combat Aerial Vehicle (UCAV) with those of a Loyal Wingman, designed to operate both autonomously and in support of manned aircraft, enhancing the flexibility and power of the Oceania Republic's air forces. The drone spans 16 meters in length, with a 12-meter wingspan and a height of 3.5 meters. Its design features a flying wing configuration with a supercritical airfoil that optimizes its aerodynamics and stealth capabilities, minimizing radar cross-section. Powered by a high-efficiency turbofan engine, the UCAV/Loyal Wingman hybrid can reach speeds up to Mach 1.8, operate up to an altitude of 55,000 feet, and has a combat range of 2,200 miles. The hybrid is designed with advanced stealth features to conduct operations in highly contested environments without being easily detected. Its armament includes a versatile array of weapons housed in three external hardpoints and three internal bombing bays: External Hardpoints: It is equipped with one ORHCM-2 "Hantu Air" multi-launched hypersonic cruise missile on the centerline hardpoint and two AGM-169 air-launched air-to-surface missiles under-wing, suitable for multiple target engagement scenarios. Internal Bombing Bays: These bays carry KDA Naval Strike Missiles for anti-ship and land-attack roles, as well as ORSAS-02 "Maelstrom" air-launched standoff airborne missiles, providing significant standoff strike capabilities. This hybrid UAV is equipped with Tier IX technology, including AI-controlled systems that enhance its autonomous operations and decision-making capabilities. Its avionics include multi-spectral sensors for comprehensive environmental awareness and satellite-linked communication systems that ensure reliable control and data exchange. There are two main variants of this UCAV/Loyal Wingman: Surveillance Variant: Enhanced with superior sensors and electronic warfare equipment, this variant excels in intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) missions, capable of operating in sensitive areas to gather critical data without compromising its presence. Attack Variant: This variant is optimized for aggressive strike missions, featuring additional hardpoints and reinforced structures that enable it to carry heavier payloads and a broader array of weapons. Typically deployed in squadrons of 18, these drones are designed to perform a variety of roles from deep penetration strikes and surveillance to acting as force multipliers for manned aircraft, dramatically extending the capabilities of the Oceania Republic's air forces. In summary, the Infoglobal Unmanned Combat Aerial Vehicle/Loyal Wingman Hybrid is a pivotal asset in modern aerial warfare. With its advanced capabilities and flexible deployment options, it significantly enhances the operational effectiveness, reach, and survivability of the Oceania Republic's air operations.


Notes:

  • Please note that the Infoglobal Unmanned Combat Aerial Vehicle/Loyal Wingman is based on a drone that I found on Pinterest

  • Please note that the weapons and model design are based on the ones provided from Modern Warships: Naval Battles

  • Please note that this is currently a work in progress, which means it will be worked on in the near future.
