Robotic arm is newest Eglin innovation

A robotic arm picks up a tool to make an adjustment to the missile flight motion simulator in this animation designed by 96th Test Wing Guided Weapons Evaluation Facility personnel. The “Calbot” arm is an innovation project to help reduce test downtime and manpower at the GWEF located on Eglin Air Force Base, Fla. The process from idea notification to approval through the base’s innovation office was less than a month. Currently, the GWEF leadership is in the process of purchasing the arm.
