Saab has unveiled a full-scale model of A3-001, a concept for a stealthy autonomous supersonic fighter designed for future air combat. The aircraft is envisioned as a potential loyal-wingman platform capable of operating across multiple domains. Its design incorporates low observability, autonomous capabilities, and a cloud-native software architecture. A software-defined approach separates intelligence, control functions, and mission capabilities from the underlying hardware, allowing the aircraft to adapt to evolving operational requirements.
