The U.S Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) has revealed that its Skyborg autonomy core system, or ACS, successfully completed a flight with a General Atomics Avenger unmanned vehicle at Edwards Air Force Base in California. The Skyborg-controlled Avenger flew for 2.5 hours on June 24, 2021, during the Orange Flag 21-2 Large Force Test Event at Edwards Air Force Base. Viewers may note that Orange Flag is a training event held by the 412th Test Wing three times a year that “focuses on technical integration and innovation across a breadth of technology readiness levels,” as per the U.S. Air Force press release. The Avenger's flight at Orange Flag was part of the AFRL’s larger Autonomous Attritable Aircraft Experimentation (AAAx) project. In this video Defense Updates analyze how the Skyborg program operating Avenger Drone autonomously could be significant force multiplier for U.S Air Force? .
