L3Harris has tested the integration of its Red Wolf launched effects payload with the Skyraider II International during a recent compatibility demonstration. The exercise focused on confirming physical fit and interface performance between the aircraft and the modular unmanned system. Red Wolf is intended for sensing, strike, electronic warfare, or communications missions and can be launched from multiple platforms. The Skyraider II is designed for special operations and rough-field use, making it suitable for adaptable mission packages. The trial forms part of broader evaluations of aircraft using open architecture designs that can quickly accept new payloads. Officials did not indicate operational timelines but emphasized continued experimentation in distributed combat capabilities.
