Tools, techniques, systems, methods and configurations are provided for modifying Low-Cost Attritable Aircraft (LCAA) to fly missions as functional, safe and effective aerial refueling (AR) tankers. The LCAA may be modified with a Selectively-Autonomous Aerial Refueling (SAAR) system, which can be installed in the LCAA to assist pilots and operators with actual AR procedures, to assist pilots and operators who are training to learn how to perform AR procedures, and/or to provide communication nodes in the form of a tactical edge network which is part of a common operational system. For AR training missions, LCAAs may be outfitted with a SAAR system including an aerial refueling store (ARS) buddy pod, such as for situations where fuel will not be offloaded to receiver aircraft.
