Results and Future Outlook
A strategic partnership established between AeroVironment and Thunder Tiger clearly demonstrates the importance of flexible cooperation models in the international defense industry. In an era where the significance of unmanned and autonomous systems in the battlefield is increasing daily, the integration of air and sea platforms to operate in such a manner will provide tactical flexibility to military planners. The field tests and firing demonstrations planned to be carried out in the near future will serve as the first critical thresholds to test the operational maturity of this partnership and will directly affect the balance of power in the Indo-Pacific region.
