Twin-Engine, Warrior Unmanned Wingman drone’s primary role will be to facilitate in strike mission over highly defended airspace while a Tejas MAX keeps a careful watch over them and the whole operation even guiding them while staying behind the scenes. Warrior project will maximize the effectiveness of every mission, while also reducing the potential of losing the lives of pilots since they would be accompanied by the drones which are supposed to protect them.
Few Warrior drones will be able to carry Two NG-CCM aka ASRAAM missiles under their wing while other Warrior drones that are part of the Strike package will be armed with SAAW missile in its internal bay to carry out effective ground strikes using its low observable characters to evade enemy radars. Warrior drones armed with short-range air to air missiles will be able to provide cover for the strike package and also to the manned command aircraft.
