Victory... Forged by Test! Sharpening American Airpower at the Center of the #Aerospace Testing Universe. (Following, RTs & links ≠ endorsement)

[General Ken Wilsbach @OfficialCSAF]

This flight shows the power of crewed-uncrewed teaming and the advantage it provides our warfighters. We must test often, learn fast and give commanders what they need, when they need it.

The @USArmy, DCMA and #USAF set a world record for #sUAS capability at "Game of Drones" 26-2 at Edwards!

The #drone was 3D-printed in 10 minutes and airborne for over eight hours across 300 miles of airspace.

From test pilot to astronaut, and from Southern California to the Moon! 🚀🌞✨

NASA astronaut Victor Glover returned to familiar ground this week, visiting NASA Armstrong, the U.S. Air Force Test Pilot School, and students at Edwards Air Force Base.

He shared stories from his journey as a U.S. Navy captain, test pilot, and Artemis II astronaut, along with the message he often gives students: be resilient, keep learning, respect the people around you, and remember that you’re not walking your path alone.

The next giant leap begins with people willing to take the first step.

How do you know an AI system is ready before you trust it with a mission?

Todd Wesley (VP of Hivemind Engineering), joined 30+ @usairforce and @USSpaceForce test pilots and engineers as a guest speaker at the U.S. Air Force Test Pilot School's AI workshop at @MIT_CSAIL.

He shared practical insight into the operational challenges of integrating, testing, and deploying AI-enabled systems.

Thank you to the U.S. Air Force Test Pilot School for the opportunity to engage with this cohort!

Autonomy for the world. The greatest victory requires no war.

[DoW Chief Digital & AI Office @CDAODoW]

To keep flight tests on schedule, engineers at the 412 Test Wing used https://t.co/gfWw8AZdcW to troubleshoot & code new PowerBI metrics themselves. By using real-time AI programming support for rapid updates, they kept testing moving without delaying busy IT teams.
