The U.S. Air Force’s Integrated Combat Turn (ICT) and Hot Pit can take hours with inefficient systems for refueling and armament loading. Hot Pit’s and Integrated Combat Turns (ICT) are inefficient and Time Consuming. Hot pit refueling and ICT’s are performed in combat situations. Stakes are high and every second counts to put pilots back into the fight. Hot pit’s can take hours, which wastes fuel as engines idle on the tarmac, and additionally adds more time to the ICT. These endanger combat effectiveness. Andretti Technologies builds on our foundation of racing heritage and intense competition to develop dynamic and sustainable solutions for the motorsport, automotive and technology sectors. Our Pit Crew Science Team has been able to optimize pit stops to under 7 seconds. Our technological advancements have improved fuel plugin to less than .7 seconds and changing tires to less than 6 seconds. Andretti Technologies seeks to adapt this unique Maintenance Turn Optimization capability to the US Air Force’s Integrated Combat Turn and Hot Pit refueling by providing time and motion video studies, modeling and simulation data analysis for realistic scenario re-creation to uncover inefficiencies and create tools and processes to solve these
