So what will it be then if it is not a loyal wingman? It has got me highly interested.

It is. There are future CCA increments probably out there that are more in the mid to large air launched cruise missile class as far as air-vehicle size and performance is concerned. These are expected to be somewhere in the middle of where the MALD-J/X/N sit today and where a basic CCA would sit in terms of mission payload and autonomy suite. Lockheed's CMMT is looking into that in addition to the low-cost cruise missile applications.

Im guessing this has something to do with it, I wonder if this is only compatible with GCAP as I can’t see a typhoon or Lightning launching this
