WASHINGTON, July 10, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- AFWERX Prime, has awarded a contract to Second Front Systems^® for their Game Warden^® platform to support the development, integration, and deployment of software solutions for autonomous and disconnected operations.

AFWERX Prime will work to accelerate the U.S. Air Force's capabilities across autonomous systems in areas such as communications, navigation, intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance and more.

"We couldn't be more excited to be involved in such a transformative program at its inception," said Tyler Sweatt, Chief Revenue Officer at Second Front Systems. "This program has the opportunity to transform operational capabilities in edge and disconnected environments, which are absolutely vital for tomorrow's fight."

Autonomous systems are rapidly maturing and increasingly being adopted for various DoD functions. In order to support the rapid and scalable development of software for autonomous systems, there needs to be a streamlined and repeatable process for vetting and fielding such applications.

Second Front will work with teammates and Air Force leaders to accelerate abilities to build, secure, and rapidly deploy software to the edge leveraging the Game Warden platform. AFWERX Prime supports the expansion of Game Warden into additional production environments, and will support additional technical integrations with edge capabilities including, but not limited to, drones and other autonomous systems.

"The establishment of the initiative will help to accelerate development of critical capabilities across the warfighting spectrum," said Donald 'Chee' Gansberger, Software Director at AFWERX. "Working with partners like Second Front will speed the delivery of the integrated and interoperable development, testing and, ultimately, deployment of improved autonomous capabilities for warfighters."
