Statement of Task
An ad hoc committee consisting of retired government, industry and academia was formed to:
- Define the current state of practice of experimentation within the Air Force (AF).
- Assess the role of experimentation in the innovation life-cycle and address how it can support the Air Force’s future technology requirements.
- Evaluate the role of risk management and experimentation in the innovation life cycle.
- Evaluate current legislative, organizational or other barriers that limit the use of experimentation within the AF.
- Review and recommend best practices for incentivizing experimentation based on an assessment of comparable S&T organizations.
- Recommend metrics that can be implemented across the AF to monitor and assess the use and value of experimentation.
- In addition the committee will address any other factors deemed to be relevant such as organizational structure or concepts of operation that could enhance the likelihood of successfully implementing a robust experimentation program within the Air Force acquisition community.
