AFRL aims to accelerate development of software-enabled weapons

Dr. David Lambert, Air Force Research Laboratory Munitions Directorate chief scientist, briefs the audience at the AFWERX Collider event aimed at exploring commercial solutions for software-enabled weapons at the University of Alabama in Huntsville, July 17-18, 2024. Colliders give Air Force leaders the opportunity to share the same room with industry to spark interaction and unleash American ingenuity to solve warfighter problems. More than 60 industry professionals attended to address the problem proposed by the Munitions Directorate located at Eglin Air Force Base, Fla., which involves the years-long process of improving weapon performance and the difficulty of analyzing and exploiting vast operational data.
