Autonomy Prime
Autonomy Prime accelerates the development and transition of multi-mission autonomy capabilities by evaluating, iterating and maturing emerging technologies and applied autonomy solutions. Through collaborative risk reduction and capability scouting, we connect, test, assess, and mature autonomy capabilities, ultimately transitioning them to scaling Program Executive Offices (PEOs), Combatant Commands (COCOMs) and enabling the Department of the Air Force to field innovative, effective, and efficient autonomous systems.
