US company Anduril is eyeing Germany's Electronic Combat Wingman (ECW) requirement for its Fury collaborative combat aircraft (CCA) as part of a wider drive into Europe, Janes was told on 18 June.
Speaking at the Paris Air Show 2025, where a full-scale model of the Fury was being displayed, company's senior vice-president of air dominance and strike Jason Levin said that the Luftwaffe's requirement to field an unmanned ‘loyal wingman' to complement its planned Eurofighter Elektronischer Kampf (EK) electronic warfare aircraft could be satisfied by a European variant of the Fury CCA that it is developing for the US Air Force (USAF) as the YFQ-44A (‘Y' designates a developmental aircraft, while ‘F' stands for ‘fighter', and ‘Q' is used for unmanned aerial vehicles [UAVs]).
“The ECW is one potential place in Europe for the Fury,” Levin said, noting that a teaming arrangement announced on the same day to have Rheinmetall ‘Germanise' the Fury could cover this and other potential future European CCA requirements.
