Viper Experimentation and Next-gen Operations Model (VENOM)

Abstract

The Viper Experimentation and Next-gen Operations Model (VENOM) effort serves as a flying autonomy testbed for the Collaborative Combat Aircraft (CCA) program. Program activities reduce risk to CCA through test and demonstration of the autonomy reference architecture and autonomy software on a F-16, or other human-on-the-loop testbed. Funding provides flight test and test support (including modifications), infrastructure investments for information technology, training, and program management support to mature autonomy architecture and software prior to transition to CCA. Program management support costs include but are not limited to contractor support services, civilian pay, supplies, and facility related expenses. In FY2024, 0.0M is forecasted for civilian expenses in this project.
