Scientific Systems' Software Selected for New Low-Cost, High-Rate Production Air Vehicles Developed by the Zone 5 Technologies
SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif., March 4, 2025 -- Zone 5 Technologies announced today that it has selected Scientific Systems and its Collaborative Weapon Autonomy (CWA) software suite for integration onto its Enterprise Test Vehicle (ETV) prototypes. Zone 5 Technologies was one of two companies down-selected by the Defense Innovation Unit and the United States Air Force Armament Directorate to develop a new low-cost, producible precision guided aircraft-launched munition using commercial, off-the-shelf (COTS) components. Scientific Systems is partnered with Zone 5 Technologies to develop ETV prototypes that operate in this Network Collaborative Autonomy environment.
Scientific Systems' CWA software suite helps to coordinate multi-vehicle operations via decentralized mission execution and dramatically improving the lethality of collaborative weapon systems. The software allows weapons to adapt to changes in target prioritization in real-time and enable opportunities to optimize weapon employment playbooks.
Scientific Systems advanced autonomy capabilities add significant capability to Zone 5 Technologies' proven family of Air Launched Effects. Through consistent focus on modularity, standardized interfaces, and low-cost, high-rate production, the Zone 5 Technologies team is developing the foundation for future affordable mass and network collaborative weapon systems.
