OpsLab Awarded Contract to Deliver Automated Flight Scheduling Software to 26th Weapons Squadron at Nellis AFB
SkySchedule Expands OpsLab's Footprint in Unmanned Systems, Following Successful RQ-4 Deployments
AUSTIN, TX — OpsLab, the operating system for air power, announced today it has been awarded a contract to deliver its SkySchedule platform to the 26th Weapons Squadron (26 WPS) in support of MQ-9 operations at Nellis Air Force Base. The contract encompasses software development and data gathering to support operational scheduling requirements, with capabilities including rule definition and management, disruption test case handling, and syllabus flow support for all syllabi in accordance with the approved Training Plan.
The award reinforces OpsLab's growing presence in the unmanned systems space, following successful SkySchedule deployments supporting RQ-4 Global Hawk operations with the 348th Operational and Programmed Flying Training Squadron. OpsLab's software is now deployed across more than 70 squadrons throughout the U.S. Air Force and U.S. Navy, supporting over 3,000 active end users.
"It is a tremendous honor to support the Airmen of the 26th Weapons Squadron at Nellis AFB," said Arun Nair, Founder and CEO of OpsLab. "This contract reflects OpsLab's unwavering commitment to delivering innovative software solutions that enhance combat mission readiness. We look forward to bringing the full power of SkySchedule to one of the Air Force's premier weapons squadrons."
Gen(ret) Stephen “Seve” Wilson, former Vice Chief of Staff of the Air Force and OpsLab Advisor, underscored the strategic significance of the award. "OpsLab is establishing itself as a serious player in unmanned operations," said Wilson. "Unmanned systems are critical assets to our national defense, and the operational scheduling demands that support them are complex. Dramatically improving how we manage air operations for these platforms isn't just an efficiency gain, it's a readiness imperative.”
SkySchedule leverages operations research and artificial intelligence to eliminate the guesswork from squadron operations by automatically generating forward-looking flight schedules, instantly adapting to disruptions, predicting critical resource deficits, and streamlining logistics. The platform has been proven to save more than 200 aircrew hours per squadron per month, directly improving mission readiness and operational effectiveness.
