AFWERX director colonel Nathan Diller said: “AFWERX is connecting the best Airmen concepts with the full scope of technologies that America and its partners have to offer so we can accelerate the fielding of the world’s most advanced commercial and military capabilities.
“TeamUp events like this one will provide opportunities for multiple stakeholders to come together and compete with speed. Just like AFWERX and AFRL are teaming up to bring cutting-edge commercial technology together with world-class research, we are encouraging entrepreneurs and researchers from around the country to TeamUp in a way that strengthens our national security and prosperity.”
On the first day of the event, a public trade show will be organised, along with other activities.
This trade show will feature advanced air mobility technologies, including computing hardware, sophisticated electric propulsion systems, advanced manufacturing and high-speed secure communications.
