Loyal wingmen are not just made to assist with fighter aircraft. This rendering shows Boeing's ATS in formation with RAAF E-7A Wedgetail airborne early warning and control (AEW&C) aircraft.
One likely application for more complex, more exquisite CCAs will be High-Value Airborne Asset Protection - arguably one of the less demanding air-to-air combat roles. Four MO-28s are seen here escorting an E-7A Wedgetail. In reality, the MQ-28 lacks the performance required for this mission
