The robot's got your back: integrating manned and unmanned aircraft operations is the next priority for UAV development
The idea of developing LEWK came about after the 1999 air war over Kosovo, where NATO air strikes often were hampered by the presence of Serbian surface-to-air missile sites.
LEWK is funded under the Pentagon's advanced concept technology demonstration program, designed to expedite the development of militarily-useful technologies.
The goal is to "integrate them smartly." To keep the cost down, he added, LEWK only would provide an "80-85 percent solution" to fulfill the so-called SEAD mission, or suppression of enemy air defenses.
