“We’re not building software in a vacuum. We are, no kidding, strapping it to an airplane and testing it.”
This remark from a Fuse team member accurately sums up the benefits of the Fuse Flight Test Squadron, established in 2019. It’s also the opening of a California Business Journal feature on the Squadron.
“Building on years of naval aviation experience, Fuse established the squadron to accelerate the development of its warfighter-focused communication and networking products by adding vigor and in-house demonstration. The squadron appeals to partners, customers, and team members of Fuse alike, adding a certain ‘cool’ factor while contributing to their noble cause,” continues the feature from reporter Leslie Irving.
Touching on the storied history of the Fuse Cessna O-2A Skymaster aircraft used in the test flights, the article describes how the Fuse Flight Test Squadron accelerates the system design of its warfighter-focused communication and networking products. “Having an aircraft that can fly with test equipment and pod-based integrated systems allows Fuse to demonstrate the feasibility of airborne connections and systems while still in development.”
Fuse CEO, Sumner Lee, is quoted, “The best moments are when we finish a test or demonstration knowing we have met our carefully planned objectives and have advanced a system further in fidelity and readiness for our military customers,” says Lee. “It’s incredibly rewarding.”
