EpiSci Completes Operator Training on Autonomy Products for AFWERX Autonomy PrimePOWAY, Calif., May 1, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- In April 2024, EpiSci completed operator training on Starling, a TacticalAI-enabled autonomy product tailored for networked collaborative autonomous platform operation, during multiple test events in partnership with the US Air Force AFWERX Autonomy Prime program. This effort continues EpiSci's participation in a variety of autonomy efforts across the Department of Defense, focused on delivering trusted autonomy for a secure future for US and allied warfighters. The flight test events demonstrated EpiSci's autonomous search algorithms during live flight on two unique uncrewed platform types. The test results demonstrated Starling's portability to integrate on and enable uncrewed aircraft to operate in contested environments and perform search and automatic target recognition tasks. Multiple operators were trained on the Starling interface and were able to complete all desired mission tasks. The cutting-edge research and development drive the leading edge of collaborative autonomy innovation across the defense industry. "EpiSci is bringing cutting-edge autonomous solutions into the real world," said Dr. Dan Javorsek, Chief Technology Officer of EpiSci and former F-22/F-35 Test Pilot. "Our teams have integrated and operated TacticalAI-enabled autonomy products on 10 uncrewed airborne and surface platform types in less than 6 months. EpiSci is committed to accelerate the pace at which we can bring relevant operational capabilities to the warfighter across all domains."
