AFRL to highlight lab’s efforts to ‘Drive the Future Fight’ at AFA Warfare Symposium
Missile utility transformation via articulated nose technology, or MUTANT, will be featured at the Air and Space Forces Association’s Warfare Symposium Feb. 12-14, 2024, at the Gaylord Rockies Resort and Convention Center in Aurora, Colorado. MUTANT is an Air Force Research Laboratory technology that is a form of active morphing involving high-rate pivoting of the missile forebody, referred to as articulation. Articulation is accomplished with an articulation control actuation system, comprised of a composite high-strain skin structure that envelops an internal electromagnetic actuation system.
