The US Air Force's Fight Tonight effort supported by a team lead by Raytheon BBN will enable military leaders to rapidly determine the most effective way to achieve objectives during complex air attack scenarios.
The USAF has awarded a Raytheon BBN Technologies-led team a contract to work on the Air Force Research Laboratory’s Fight Tonight programme, the company announced on 6 December.
The contract has a potential value of $25 million over three years.
‘Fight Tonight will enable military leaders to rapidly determine the most effective way to achieve objectives during complex air attack scenarios by evaluating plan effectiveness against many possible situations and outcomes,’ Raytheon BBN noted in a statement.
