C3 AI (NYSE: AI), the Enterprise AI application software
company, was awarded a contract in partnership with Intelligent
Waves LLC to provide mission-critical AI applications for the U.S.
Air Force Crowd-Sourced Flight Data Program.
The Crowd-Sourced Flight Data Program, run by the 59th Test and
Evaluation Squadron (59TES) at Nellis Air Force Base in Nevada, is
focused on enabling the rapid delivery of software-defined
warfighter capabilities. The program’s first focus is the F-35A,
the U.S. Air Force’s latest fifth-generation fighter aircraft with
enhanced sensor and data fusion capabilities that allow it to
operate in advanced threat environments.
C3 AI is working with the 59TES to accelerate and scale the
Crowd-Sourced Flight Data solution for combat F-35A aircraft
through the rapid development and operational deployment of a
roadmap of mission-critical AI applications. These applications,
which work to complement existing data capture and compute
investments, leverage the terabytes of high-fidelity data now
recorded on both test and operational aircraft.
“We are honored to support such a vital program to strengthen
our country’s warfighter capabilities,” said C3 AI CEO Thomas M.
Siebel. “The traditional test paradigm for advanced weapons
systems, such as the F-35, takes too long to keep pace with
emerging threats. Enabling programs like the Crowd-Sourced Flight
Data Program to operate at the needed scale and velocity is how the
United States can maintain a position of power on all
battlefields.”
The program, including investments in data collection, compute,
and networking, has already demonstrated the ability to minimize
the risk to operational forces by discovering and resolving
anomalies in fielded weapon systems before those systems are
required in combat. The successes from the Crowd-Sourced Flight
Data Program, funded by various stakeholders, including the Test
Resource Management Center, will help accelerate the application to
other advanced weapon systems, including the F-22, F-15E, and
others.
The 59TES is responsible for the management of F-35, F-22, F-15,
F-16, and A-10 weapon system testing, including tactics and
software development and evaluations. The squadron also manages the
Operational Test and Evaluation of weapons and support systems to
improve current and future U.S. Air Force combat capabilities.
