We provide the ability to discover, assess and deliver solutions via non-traditional methods and external partnerships. We connect industry partners, academia and the warfighter and provide access to opportunities where all three entities can combine resources to solve the critical needs of the 28th Bomb Wing.
With a variety of training resources, we educate the force in problem-solving methods and support a cadre of facilitators from around the base.
We discover the 5% who have a passion for undertaking tough problems then provide them methods to get certified to industry standards.
We connect the warfighter with grass-roots innovators, industry, and academic partners throughout the innovation ecosystem.
Our motto is Think big, start small, scale fast. When grass-roots solutions are successful we connect them with the innovation network to bring them to scale.
Through events like the Striker Spark Sprint, innovators can pitch their ideas straight to the leaders that can support the change
Ideas that are not selected through Spark Sprints, can get support through the AFWERX Refinery program, which pairs innovators with contracting, legal, and program office experts.
