It looks a lot like XQ-58 Valkyrie. And can also carry two Saaw class of standoff weapons internally .

Lengths suggest those can carry BVRAAMs.

CATS ( combat air teaming system )

Is CATS a centre or lab like CABS(Centre for Airborne Systems)?

No CATS is a program.
It means Combat Air Teaming System.

ALFA-S means Air Launched Flexible Asset - Swarm.

Did any of you notice the SCALP like Cruise Missile in this which is different from Cats hunter , this one as also showcased earlier with 500 Km Range . SMART cruise Missile

Dual Rack pylon with ASTRA .

We should develop these fancy Weapons as early as possible , these Unmanned Wingman , Swarm Drones and other Unmanned systems should be developed as early as possible , we have all the technology for these including propulsion system ranging from , solid rocket, Dry Kaveri Engine , HTSE and HTFE , Small Turbofan Engine. They have huge export potential too. Need to arm Chinese adversaries and we can earn some money

In my opinion India should show urgency in These Unmanned/Swarming systems and Ghatak and Rustom like Combat/ Surveillance systems

HAL Wingman.

Boeing Wingman.

Posting this before some claim it looks like Boeing Wingman. HAL Wingman may have better stealth characteristics( may be I am wrong) . SAAW is in Sidebays ,may be can carry more payloads in central Weapons bay

The part between intakes looks kinda empty?
Maybe small internal bays for 2-4 AAM ??

I don’t think those are for internal bays but can be, it also has a serpentine intake as far as I can notice.

I don’t think those are for internal bays but can be, it also has a serpentine intake as far as I can notice.

Or they could've added two more hardpoints on front for AAM and make it 13.
