EGLIN AIR FORCE BASE, Fla. (AFRL) – The Air Force proved a low-cost, air-delivered method for defeating surface vessels through a QUICKSINK demonstration in the waters of the Gulf of Mexico near Eglin Air Force Base, Florida.
This capability is an answer to an urgent need to quickly neutralize maritime threats over massive expanses of ocean around the world.
“The development of this technology helps deliver technological superiority to ensure the United States can defend our interests, maintain freedom of action, and seize the initiative over large maritime areas,” said Col. Matthew Caspers, Air Force Research Laboratory, Munitions Directorate Director.
