Overview
- Unveiled Nov. 4 at the International Fighter Conference in Rome, Gambit 6 adds dedicated air-to-ground missions to the Gambit family of collaborative combat aircraft.
- Gambit 6 is optimized for electronic warfare, suppression of enemy air defenses and deep precision strike, featuring a signature-reducing internal weapons bay and modular architecture.
- The design builds on a shared Gambit core—landing gear, baseline avionics and chassis—covering roughly 70% of aircraft cost to speed variant development and reduce price.
- GA-ASI is courting European partners, with plans for local assembly and mission-systems integration, and airframes available for international procurement in 2027 followed by European missionized variants in 2029.
- The rollout follows GA-ASI’s CCA momentum, including a second YFQ-42A test flight reported Nov. 3 and ongoing Navy carrier-CCA design work, as competitors like Anduril advance parallel prototypes.
