SparkX teams with Army Soldiers on open-source drone project
U.S. Air Force Tech Sgt. Stephen J. Larsen and Staff Sgt. Stefan N. Sobiech, SparkX Cell Innovation and Idea Center technicians at Joint Base Andrews, Md., conduct an off-base flight test the Blackbird unmanned aircraft system in September 2024. The system was developed after a request from the U.S. Army’s 1st Multi-Domain Task Force for a drone that could be 3D-printed, assembled and flight-ready in under two days. (U.S. Air Force photo)
