The Combat Air Forces (CAF) are seeking a state-of-the-art training strategy to accelerate the training of a pilot to a combat-ready aviator. The United States Air Force's (USAF) modern-day pilot training program is experiencing a widening gap between the capabilities of its primary training aircraft and that of the advanced fighter aircraft its pilots currently operate. Our goal is to improve the overall effectiveness of training programs across the Air Force to focus on developing quality pilots and combat aviators quicker.

We are seeking solutions that can further leverage existing and new data to enhance the feedback loop, modernize learning tools to provide a better learning experience and facilitate the ease of collaboration and communication amongst the training and development communities.

In partnership with Air Combat Command (ACC), Air Education and Training Command (AETC) and Global Strike Command (AFGSC), AFWERX challenges you to submit your product, service, or idea to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of our combat pilot training. Whether you have a comprehensive solution or components of one, we welcome you to our AFWERX Challenge crowdsourcing process — an open call for innovative solutions.
