The U.S. Air Force’s multi-intelligence reconfigurable pod – AgilePod – recently demonstrated Precision, Navigation and Timing (PNT) concept of operations during six Phase I flights in Colorado.

WRIGHT-PATTERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Ohio – The use of Open Systems Architectures during manufacturing enables the Air Force Research Laboratory’s AgilePod to integrate on diverse air platforms with short notice. The AgilePod is an Air Force-trademarked, multi-intelligence reconfigurable pod that enables flight-line operators to customize sensor packages based on specific mission needs. A fit check held late December, 2017, provided an opportunity to demonstrate the ability of the pod to rapidly integrate onto the Scorpion Light Attack/ISR jet, highlighting the benefits of Open Architecture for augmenting Air Force mission needs.
