Scientific Systems' Autonomy Software Successfully Demonstrates Improved Kill Chain Capabilities at Project Convergence Capstone 5

Groundbreaking Platform Agnostic Software Supports Faster Execution of Kill Chain

BURLINGTON, Mass., June 25, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Scientific Systems, an industry leader in developing AI-powered autonomy for defense applications announced today that it successfully demonstrated improved kill chain capabilities using its Robotic Autonomous Platform for Tactical Operations and Reconnaissance (RAPTOR) autonomy software at Project Convergence Capstone 5 (PC-C5). Project Convergence, the U.S. Army's premier modernization experiment. 

The demonstration of the software, initially developed under the DARPA Squad X program with further maturation occurring under the U.S. Army Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Cyber, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (C5ISR) Center Asymmetric Vision/Decide Faster (AV/DF) effort, showcased Scientific Systems' advanced autonomy for manned-unmanned teaming capabilities. The RAPTOR system integrates Scientific Systems' AI-powered autonomy software with a commercial off-the-shelf Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS.) 

During the event, joint fire support specialists lased potential threats and generated coordinates.  The RAPTOR UAS then autonomously launched to further investigate the potential threat and sent back details including refined location and image chips to the Common Operating Picture (COP). The specialists used the image chips to confirm actual threats and digitally passed this information up the kill chain to support target engagement. 

"The successful demonstration of the RAPTOR UAS at Project Convergence is another example of how Scientific Systems is using cutting edge autonomy to provide warfighters with a distinct advantage on the battlefield," said Tom Frost, Senior Vice President at Scientific Systems. "This software is platform agnostic and can be integrated into a wide variety of air and ground systems to significantly improve kill chain capabilities. This is the type of proven, groundbreaking autonomy Scientific Systems can immediately provide our military customers following years of rigorous development." 

The Project Convergence demonstration showcased how Scientific Systems' autonomous solutions can improve lethality during scout missions by reducing the time between detecting, confirming and neutralizing threats.
