FINAL_AF_Explore_Opportunity_Call_AMD_02.pdf

This document announces an Air Force Explore Opportunity Call for the submission of Capability Ideas that address three functional challenges and advance five strategic capabilities outlined in the Air Force Science and Technology Strategy. The Opportunity Call is a three-step process to identify and potentially fund the maturation of transformational Capability Ideas through Idea Maturation Plans consisting of aggressive, short-duration applied research and development efforts to assess operational viability and demonstrate feasibility. These plans may involve modeling and simulation, military utility experimentation, technical analysis, technology and concept maturation, risk reduction activities, and subject matter expertise input. A Q&A webinar on submitting Capability Ideas will be held on October 29, 2019 at 1:00 pm PDT and interested parties can join via the provided Zoom link or telephone number. The contracting point of contact is identified for any questions.
