The United States Air Force (USAF) Seek Eagle Office has cleared Leonardo’s BriteCloud 218 expendable active decoy for operational testing on board the F-16 Fighting Falcon aircraft.
The authorisation is one of the final stages of the U.S. Department of Defense’s Foreign Comparative Testing (FCT) programme for the product, which is due to complete this year. The FCT, which is being conducted by the US Air National Guard, will open the door to U.S. procurement.
