Axient Supports Successful USMC 40 FTLS XQ-58 Flight Test

The United States Marine Corps successfully executed the 40 FTLS XQ-58 Flight Test on Tuesday, Oct 3. Several Axient employees have performed exceptionally for the 40FLTS, 96TW, and Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division AIRWorks (NAWCAD/AWX), supporting this effort over the past 12 months and were involved in the Penetrating Affordable Autonomous Collaborative Killer Portfolio (PAACK-P) flight test. The flight test marked a key milestone for the Marine Corps PAACK-P project, demonstrating the XQ-58A Valkyrie with an AI-enabled electronic warfare payload on a tactically relevant platform is capable of supporting a variety of stand-in missions requiring advanced find-fix-track and target (F2T2) capabilities. Joel Abrahams, Executive Director of Axient Defense Systems, said: “Well done team [Axient]! I’m proud of what you are accomplishing in helping the 40th achieve their missions.”
