AFRL Works With Industry Partners to Integrate Advanced Autonomous Systems
August 19, 2022
The Air Force Research Laboratory has partnered with industry leaders including Lockheed Martin, Skyborg Autonomy Control Systems and Calspan Corporation to accelerate tactical autonomy development.
“[The Variable In-flight Stability Test Aircraft] will allow us to parallelize the development and test of cutting edge artificial intelligence techniques with new uncrewed vehicle designs,” said Matthew Niemiec, the autonomous aircraft experiment portfolio lead. “This approach, combined with focused testing on new vehicle systems as they are produced, will rapidly mature autonomy for uncrewed platforms and allow us to deliver tactically relevant capability to our warfighter.”
