It also pays for continued flight testing and experimentation, which will inform the Air Force whether the Skyborg drone is ready to move to a program of record in fiscal 2023, the service said in a news release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThese contract actions, while tactical in nature, are strategically important to this [program] as we continue to discover and learn how we will employ this advance technology in the fight,\u201d said Brig. Gen. Dale White, the program executive for fighters and advanced aircraft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe team has always been committed to transitioning Skyborg to a program of record, and we\u2019ll be ready in 2023 as the Air Force prepares its FY23 president\u2019s budget submission early next year.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">General Atomics, Kratos and Boeing were tapped to build <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/air\/2020\/12\/07\/these-three-companies-will-build-prototypes-for-the-air-forces-skyborg-drone\/\" target=\"_blank\">Skyborg air vehicle prototypes<\/a> in December 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After integrating the UTAP-22 Mako drone with the autonomy core, Kratos conducted the first Skyborg test flight<a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/air\/2021\/05\/05\/the-air-forces-first-skyborg-autonomous-drone-prototype-made-its-first-flight\/\" target=\"_blank\"> in April<\/a>.
