Lockheed Martin's built the U-2, the SR-71 and the F-117. BAE Systems' is the British equivalent, the place where the awkward, classified and interesting work goes.<\/p>\r\n<p>They do not usually build things together. On Monday at Farnborough they showed what happened when they did, and it is about 400 pounds, shaped vaguely like a cruise missile, and designed to fly into the teeth of an air-defence network so that something more expensive does not have to.<\/p>\r\n<p>It is called Blizzard.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<div style=\"background: #f5f5f5; padding: 20px 24px; margin: 24px 0; border-radius: 8px;\">\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0 0 12px; font-weight: bold; font-size: 17px; color: #222;\">Informazioni rapide<\/p>\r\n<table style=\"width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.6;\">\r\n<tbody>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td style=\"padding: 5px 12px 5px 0; color: #666; vertical-align: top; white-space: nowrap;\"><strong>Che cos&#039;\u00e8<\/strong><\/td>\r\n<td style=\"padding: 5px 0; color: #222;\">A modular, multi-mission uncrewed air system \u2014 an autonomous collaborative platform, in the jargon<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td style=\"padding: 5px 12px 5px 0; color: #666; vertical-align: top; white-space: nowrap;\"><strong>Costruito da<\/strong><\/td>\r\n<td style=\"padding: 5px 0; color: #222;\">BAE Systems\u2019 FalconWorks and Lockheed Martin\u2019s Skunk Works, jointly, with UK and US content<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td style=\"padding: 5px 12px 5px 0; color: #666; vertical-align: top; white-space: nowrap;\"><strong>Svelato<\/strong><\/td>\r\n<td style=\"padding: 5px 0; color: #222;\">20 July 2026, opening day of the Farnborough International Airshow<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td style=\"padding: 5px 12px 5px 0; color: #666; vertical-align: top; white-space: nowrap;\"><strong>Peso<\/strong><\/td>\r\n<td style=\"padding: 5px 0; color: #222;\">Roughly 400\u00a0lb (about 181\u00a0kg)<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td style=\"padding: 5px 12px 5px 0; color: #666; vertical-align: top; white-space: nowrap;\"><strong>Missione<\/strong><\/td>\r\n<td style=\"padding: 5px 0; color: #222;\">Stand-in jamming, decoying and suppression of enemy air defences<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td style=\"padding: 5px 12px 5px 0; color: #666; vertical-align: top; white-space: nowrap;\"><strong>Launch options<\/strong><\/td>\r\n<td style=\"padding: 5px 0; color: #222;\">Air drop from a fast jet, palletised release from a transport such as the A400M, plus ground and maritime launch<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td style=\"padding: 5px 12px 5px 0; color: #666; vertical-align: top; white-space: nowrap;\"><strong>Stato<\/strong><\/td>\r\n<td style=\"padding: 5px 0; color: #222;\">Captive-carry trials complete.

It is important to say that clearly, because the term is being applied to almost everything with a propeller and an autopilot at this show. At 400 pounds it is a fraction of the size of a collaborative combat aircraft like the <a href=\"https:\/\/migflug.com\/jetflights\/it\/aerei\/f-35-fulmine-ii\/\">F-35<\/a>'s prospective robot escorts.<\/p>\r\n<p>It belongs to a different family: the air-launched effect. Something you carry, release, and spend. Its job is to fly into contested airspace and confuse, decoy or jam the radars and missile batteries waiting there \u2014 a role that has historically required a crewed aircraft to go and do it in person, at considerable risk.<\/p>\r\n<p>Anthony Gregory, BAE's FalconWorks business development and strategy director, described the intent in plain terms on the show's opening day: Blizzard exists to let other systems do their jobs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<div style=\"background: #f8f9fa; border-left: 4px solid #5C91FF; padding: 20px 22px; margin: 18px 0 24px; border-radius: 0 8px 8px 0; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.7; display: flex; gap: 20px; align-items: flex-start;\">\r\n<div><em>\u201cBlizzard will complement end effects in the battlespace. It will enable other systems to do the job they need to do by decoying, suppressing very hostile threats\u201d<\/em>\r\n<div style=\"margin-top: 10px; font-size: 14px; color: #555;\"><strong>Anthony Gregory<\/strong> \u2014 Business development and strategy director, BAE Systems FalconWorks<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n<p>Gregory also called the development \u201ctruly a joint design effort\u201d \u2014 not a case of one company subcontracting to the other, but shared engineering across the Atlantic. Given how jealously both organisations normally guard their work, that is the genuinely unusual part of the announcement.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\" style=\"margin: 0 0 24px; width: 100%;\"><img data-opt-id=1929661992  fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"skip-lazy\" style=\"width: 100%; height: auto; max-width: 100%; display: block; border-radius: 6px;\" src=\"https:\/\/ml5psubhxdln.i.optimole.com\/cb:0e0_.b970\/w:auto\/h:auto\/q:mauto\/ig:avif\/https:\/\/migflug.com\/jetflights\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/07\/blizzard-palletised-air-launch-cargo-aircraft.jpg\" alt=\"Multiple Blizzard uncrewed air systems released from a cargo aircraft on pallets\" width=\"1024\" data-no-lazy=\"1\" \/>\r\n<figcaption style=\"font-size: 13px; color: #777; text-align: center; margin-top: 6px; font-style: italic;\">One of the launch concepts: palletised release from a transport aircraft, putting a large number of Blizzards into the air at once. Image: BAE Systems<\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n\r\n<h2 style=\"padding-top: 22px;\">Launched from almost anything<\/h2>\r\n<p>The launch flexibility is the design's other selling point. Air drop from a fast jet is the obvious option, and Janes reports Typhoon and F-35 have been discussed as carriers \u2014 though that detail comes from a single outlet and neither company has confirmed a carriage clearance. The more striking option is the transport aircraft: pallets rolled out of the back of an A400M-class airlifter, turning a cargo plane into a mass-launch platform.<\/p>\r\n<p>Ground and maritime launch are also on the list. The pattern is familiar from Ukraine, where the cheapest and most effective systems have tended to be the ones that do not care what they are fired from.<\/p>\r\n<p>Blizzard's stated lineage on the American side runs to Skunk Works' Common Multi-Mission Truck family, a set of low-cost expendable airframes built around exactly this logic. On the British side it complements StormShroud, the RAF's existing uncrewed stand-in jammer.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<div style=\"max-width: 550px; margin: 0 auto 28px;\"><iframe class=\"skip-lazy\" style=\"width: 100%; height: 400px; border: none; border-radius: 12px; overflow: hidden;\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/embed\/Tweet.html?id=2079176043965952275&amp;theme=light\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-no-lazy=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/div>\r\n\r\n<h2 style=\"padding-top: 22px;\">What is actually new<\/h2>\r\n<p>The collaboration itself is not the news \u2014 that was announced in September 2025, when Dave Holmes, who runs FalconWorks, set out what the two companies were trying to achieve.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<div style=\"background: #f8f9fa; border-left: 4px solid #1565c0; padding: 20px 22px; margin: 18px 0 24px; border-radius: 0 8px 8px 0; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.7; display: flex; gap: 20px; align-items: flex-start;\">\r\n<div><em>\u201cThrough our collaboration with Lockheed we\u2019ll deliver disruptive capabilities that can make a real difference to our military customers at pace, enabling them to confront the operational requirements of today\u2019s battlefield\u201d<\/em>\r\n<div style=\"margin-top: 10px; font-size: 14px; color: #555;\"><strong>Dave Holmes<\/strong> \u2014 Managing Director, BAE Systems FalconWorks (speaking in September 2025)<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n<p>What Farnborough added is the name, a physical article on a stand, a weight class, and a timeline. Aviation Week reports captive-carry trials are complete and flight testing follows in 2027; Janes describes the trials as having included release as well, and puts production readiness at the end of 2027. Those accounts do not quite agree, and neither company has published a definitive schedule.<\/p>\r\n<p>No military designation exists. No customer has been named.
