The US Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) is rethinking its approach to the Golden Horde networked collaborative weapons programme and the lab’s commander has a meeting with a key stakeholder on 17 September to determine the path forward.

Golden Horde, one of the US Air Force’s (USAF’s) top science and technology (S&T) priorities, had a demonstration previously scheduled for late 2020. Golden Horde is a group of technologies the service is evaluating for networked collaborative autonomous capabilities within existing weapon systems.

The service was to experiment with how to have a group of weapons talk and interact with one another and pass data back and forth into a network. This would allow them to better prosecute targets and better prioritise.

Chris Ristich, director of the USAF transformational capabilities office and director of the strategic development planning and experimentation office, told reporters on 16 September during the Air Force Association’s (AFA’s) annual conference that the USAF is debating two things.
