Post Technology Interchange Meetings: Adversary Aircraft - Uncrewed

The contract focuses on advancing the Air Force's exploration and implementation of autonomous technologies within uncrewed systems, with particular emphasis on the Collaborative Combat Aircraft (CCA) program, which currently receives priority funding as reflected in the president’s budget. The initiative involves a series of Technology Interchange Meetings (TIM) with Air Combat Command (ACC), specifically addressing the development and use of uncrewed adversary aircraft. These efforts indicate an ongoing commitment to integrating autonomous capabilities to enhance military aviation operations. Administrative updates include the activation of a communications platform called the Org Box to manage submissions related to this program, with instructions provided for re-submission due to temporary technical issues. The solicitation, posted in March 2023, is managed by the Air Combat Command under the Department of Defense, with key points of contact listed for engagement and follow-up. The contract underscores the strategic importance of uncrewed aircraft systems within the broader scope of defense technology modernization.
