ACX-01 — ADVANCED COMPLEX SYSTEMS

Stub — auto-generated by PE enrichment 2026-04-14.

Description

The Advanced Complex Systems project is focused on exploiting high pay-off opportunities to provide revolutionary new system capabilities, as opposed to incremental or evolutionary advancements, in order to achieve undeterrable air and space presence at dramatically reduced costs. Rapid prototyping and experimentation of integrated system concepts, as well as enabling vehicle subsystems will be conducted. Programs will explore new architectural concepts that employ a mix of weapon technologies that achieve lethality through a combination of overwhelming performance and overwhelming numbers rather than through the use of singular and costly high value assets. Efforts conducted under this program element include examination and evaluation of emerging aerospace threats, technologies, concepts, use of autonomy to minimize risk, and applications for missiles, munitions, and vehicle systems.

Prior to FY 2026, efforts in this Project were funded in PE 0603286E, Project AIR-01, and PE 0603287E, Project SPC-01.
