When we talk about rapid prototyping of hardware, the cool part is that Airmen across the Air Force can leverage the WARCRY program (already on contract) to do it. This is the forward thinking that creates optionality for USAF product development :) #rapidprototyping #hardware #iterate

The Warfighter Concept & Rapid Capability (WARCRY) Program is revolutionizing how DAF end-users bring their innovative ideas to life.

Innovation that reaches the field faster than ever before, ensuring that our defense capabilities evolve at the pace of relevance. The #WARCRY program by Bunker Supply , in partnership with Tesseract AF is your chance to accelerate the development of your concepts and collaborate directly with key stakeholders in the defense sector. ✉️ Contact Justin Emerson to learn more and join WARCRY! #WARCRY #agilemanufacturing #defenseinnovation #rapidprototyping

#SpaceCommunity Congrats to Hyperspace Challenge 2019 Alumni, More Cowbell Unlimited, who was awarded a US Army Phase II Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) grant worth almost $2M! During the upcoming Army Phase II project, the More Cowbell Unlimited team will work closely with the Army’s Information Advantage Program Office. Cognitive arbitrage identifies and capitalizes on opportunistic moments within systems based upon changes in human cognitive states; fundamentally, the relationship between the variety of activities within a system and the human brain being in a state of overwhelm are related. The Army will use this tech to visualize the information environment, measure intent through tertiary systems, assess target audience movement, and make system predictions. Commercial use cases include: data-driven brand management, marketing and advertising, and hedge fund trade improvements. John Bicknell

We are honored to announce that Andy Tennant, Regional Engagement Principal at NSIN - National Security Innovation Network, will join us as one of the judges for the 2024 SDI Showcase and Ignite Awards. Sponsored by Second Front Systems, L3Harris Technologies, ARI (Applied Research Institute), Ward & Berry, PLLC, VetsinTech, Charter, and other defense leaders, the competition is designed to celebrate technologies that could help advance and protect our nation and/or make lives better for service members. From established primes to novel startups, the Ignite Awards aims to recognize the innovation happening in the industry–celebrating those who are making an impact. Organized by Distinctive Edge Partners, Foundation For The Future, and Valid Evaluation, Inc., it aims to accomplish two goals: (1) facilitate a joint open-topic competition for the federal sector, and (2) remove barriers to participation for the tech industry. The deadline to apply is January 10, 2024.

Last week SOFWERX, in collaboration with USSOCOM’s Directorate of Science and Technology (S&T) Futures and UK Strategic Command, played host to the fifteenth Innovation Foundry event (IF15) @ BT HQ London.   As the 2nd international event in the series, IF15 shortlisted 60 individuals from UK/US military practitioners, industry, academia, national laboratories, and futurists from 500 applicants to explore and ideate around future scenarios and missions. The theme of IF15, ‘Smart Cities – Future Challenges for SOF’ explored the challenges of physical and remote SOF operations in a range of future complex smart city scenarios. S&T Futures has developed and refined a unique process, the Innovation Cycle, to engage technology pioneers and leaders, and to discover and develop high risk, innovative, and disruptive technologies for future on-boarding.   This Innovation Foundry is the first phase of the Innovation Cycle and was focused on idea generation. Deliverables for the IF15 event include preliminary capability concepts targeting the defined problem areas which may impact SOF and operations in the 2035 timeframe in interconnected smart cities.   This event will be followed by 1) a Rapid Capability Assessment (RCA) to further develop the preliminary capability concepts, and 2) a series of Integrated Technology Sprints (ITS), to demonstrate proofs of concept.   Special thanks to Lisa Sanders Brian Sisco Brennan Cox Eric Abrahamson Jim Harvey, #LibertyAlliance #SOCOM #UKStratcom #DSTL #JHUB #MOD #Internationaldefense #defensetech #defensefutures #internationalcollaboration #innovation #smartcities #IF15 #SOF #Advancedenergysystems #Artificialintelligence #Biometricsystems #Communicationstechnologies #Cyberoperations #Edgecomputing #Humanmachineteaming #Influenceoperations #Missionreadinesstogether #Missionvisualisation #Roboticandautonomoussystems #Wearabletechnologies #CommercialX

The BattleLab team attended the Future Forces Demo Day event last week. The opening Workshop involved set-ups by Richard Pass, Nick Cowley, Blythe Crawford CBE, Dina Kakaras and Tony Blair Institute for Global Change, before attendees grouped into mixed industry rooms to work through some of the current challenges faced by Defence, VCs, Startups, Academia and "others". The second day involved showcases from all the Innovators and defence organisations. It was fantastic to be able to look around the room and identify so many people that had been to the BattleLab to collaborate. We were able to catch up with many of them and follow their good news journeys from entering the facility to being offered contracts and opportunities for further collaboration and development. It is Brilliant to see so many passionate and innovative people wanting to make change to how we develop capabilities that are built to be operationally ready at the point of acceptance. The Battlelab was mentioned several times, and it surprised attendees that we have already done many of the things that they saw as workable solutions. Like every organisation, we work within certain constraints, but we know that collaboration is key, and it guides everything we do to ensure Defence Personnel get their problems heard. A fantastic venue at the MTC - Manufacturing Technology Centre, and it may be interesting to know that the example provided at the start of the MTCs brief on Project Apollo is work that British Army Innovation, Battlelab and a Defence Person are currently developing with the MTC team and Dstl. We are still working through all the new contacts we made, and we look forward to welcoming a load more organisations that are excited about the collaborative possibilities available at the BattleLab. Remember if you have good news for us to share from your interactions at the BattleLab we would love to hear from you! #futureforcesdemoday #battlelab #ministryofdefence #britisharmy #royalairforce #royalnavy #comercialx #innovation #vc #startup #technology #defence #dstl #mtc
