GREAT QUESTIONS, BETTER ANSWERS

  • The Air Force Research Lab (AFRL) is the primary scientific research and development center for the Department of the Air Force. With the brainpower of over 12,500 people working across nine different technology areas and 40 operations across the world, AFRL consistently pushes the boundaries of innovation.

     
  • AFWERX is a directorate within AFRL dedicated to bringing the ingenuity of small businesses and start-ups to address challenges within the Air Force. By integrating civilian technologies into the Air Force’s capabilities and encouraging Airmen ingenuity, AFWERX drives faster adaptation.

     
  • AFWERX regularly supports Hackathons alongside other organizations to foster innovation between government and industry leaders. Using real DOD data, scientists, coders and developers from all over are invited to develop and validate groundbreaking concepts.
