Vectis Uncrewed Aircraft

Vectis is Lockheed Martin Skunk Works’ Group 5 uncrewed combat aircraft, designed to operate independently or alongside crewed tactical aircraft.

Its intended roles include precision strike, air-to-air and air-to-ground missions, intelligence and surveillance support, electronic warfare, and counter-air operations. The tailless aircraft uses a submerged engine inlet and digital manufacturing approaches intended to support efficient prototype production and testing. Vectis is associated with the Collaborative Combat Aircraft concept, though its own development, design, production, and potential missions remain the central subject.
