Engility has partnered with AFRL since 2000 to support next-generation weapon system infrastructure.

The Engility team and AFRL government partners are involved in the development of technology for test and evaluation of sensor systems and associated hardware, including electro-optical, infrared, laser, and radar guidance technologies.

This expertise is backed by high-performance computing capabilities at Eglin Air Force Base, Florida, US, along with the potential to support AFRL abilities such as directed energy, air vehicles, and other materials.

In June, Engility was selected to conduct risk assessments on the US Air Force’s space and launch vehicles, while it is also tasked to conduct independent readiness reviews to help with technical analysis.
