The Golden Horde programme intends to network multiple munitions, such as precision glide-bombs and decoys, so that the weapons can exchange information and swarm targets in unison. The first demonstration of the technology last December partly failed due to a software problem.

This was a great step forward in this programme,” Brigadier General Heather Pringle, commander of AFRL, said during a press conference at the Air Force Association’s Aerospace Warfare Symposium on 24 February.
