During the week of 7 October, the Phalanx Griffon (PG) PDO1 effort (aka Project CHAAOS) participated in the Emerald Flag 24-3 event at Eglin AFB. The team successfully demonstrated the emerging PG architecture within a variety of flight test scenarios integrating multiple aerial networking capabilities – Advanced Battle Management System (ABMS) PG PDO1, Capabilities Release 1 (CR1), Data Link Integration Module (DLIM), Common Tactical Edge Network (CTEN), Joint Tactical Edge Network (JTEN), and CASCADE/SAHARA. The 76 SWEG supported the demonstration with custom developed software, integration, and testing activities.

Happy STEM/STEAM Day! Today we celebrate the world of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. Let’s continue to inspire students to get excited about STEM! #AFSC #Software #STEM #STEAM #SoftwareJobs

Recently, some team members within AFSC/SWT coordinated a multi-site team celebration to recognize the team’s exceptional support! This wingman day brought together 27 personnel across multiple locations (Hill, Tinker, and Robins). Members were able to celebrate together in-person and virtually to get together and play trivia. Thank you, everyone! #AFSC #Software #SoftwareJobs

The 309th Software Engineering Group distinguished itself by developing and delivering mission critical software products and services for a highly diverse portfolio of complex weapon systems. The group positively impacted essential platforms such as the A-10, F-16, F-22, F-35, Sentinel Intercontinental Ballistic Missile, space systems, and command and control programs. The group’s relentless pursuit of innovation ensured that software development processes exploited leading-edge methodologies and delivered relevant products vital to mission success. The team of exceptionally talented professionals mastered the art of Agile DevSecOps and repeatedly demonstrated a rapid cadence methodology to develop, test, and deploy new software features. Their continuous delivery of software exceeded customer requirements, ensured secure code, and was responsive to changing warfighter needs. The group completed 219 deliveries for multiple weapon systems, earned $459M in revenue, and hired 379 new scientist, engineers, and support professionals resulting in significant advances in product relevance, cost, schedule, and quality. The professionalism and commitment to excellence demonstrated by the men and women of the 309th Software Engineering Group reflect great credit upon themselves, Air Force Materiel Command, the United States Air Force, and the Department of Defense.

Researchers from the AFSC Software Directorate’s 76th Software Engineering Group (76 SWEG) have achieved remarkable success once again, securing back-to-back "Best in Session" paper awards at the Digital Avionics Systems Conference (DASC) 2024. Congratulations! #AFSC #SoftwareDirectorate #76SWEG #Software #SoftwareJobs
