Task Force 99 is a small US Air Force (USAF) group based in Qatar, established “as an experimental unit” in October 2022. The group is part of USAF Central (USAFCENT), the Air Force Service component of US Central Command (CENTCOM), the DoD combatant command responsible for the Middle East and parts of Northern Africa and Central Asia.
In March 2024, Task Force 99 conducted a flight assessment of a 3D printed drone designed on software manufactured by Texas-based Titan Dynamics, which makes and sells aerospace battlefield simulation software and unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) designs. Task Force 99 and Blue Horizons, an elite Air Force research organization, only began prototyping the drone the month prior.
