Not sure a see much reason for a drone wingman. The wingman keeps the lead safe by watching for threats as the lead concentrates on the task. If a drone can do that, that same tech can simply be installed in the lead plane. And the drone doesn’t need to maneuver to address a threat in an era of all aspect missiles.

But it sounds extremely effective at enriching DC and procurement officers retirement gigs.
