Air Force Digital Engineering Pitch Day

The Air Force is seeking to identify innovative Digital Engineering (DE) technologies and processes that aid in transforming AF acquisition from “analog” to “digital” and allow the AF to rapidly and continuously field disruptive capabilities. Digital Engineering depends on the creation of virtual, digital models and environments that are nearly perfect, harnessing their full power to learn and experiment so the actual, physical systems are fully integrated and tested before they are produced. 

In adherence to the Air Force’s three digital acquisition principles (Own the Tech Stack, Warp from Tech Stack to Edge, eCreate before you Aviate), the DE innovations being sought include, but are not limited to virtual work environments, rapid virtual prototyping and demonstration, infrastructure operability, big data management, analysis, and visualization, linking disparate data sources and systems, digital thread and digital twin, advanced architecture tools, cybersecurity, decision analysis, model based systems engineering, model based engineering, software visualization, and cloud/high performance computing (HPC) cost effective infrastructure.
