Open Call for Innovative Defense-Related Dual-Purpose Technologies/Solutions with a Clear Air Force Stakeholder Need

Mile Two will apply a work-centered design approach build TechScout: an application that expands and customizes our existing and commercially available TNEBULA platform for AFWERX to more effectively track innovations and intellectual property (IP) and, through advanced analytics and recommendation algorithms, enable matchmaking between the IP and the owners of the problems the IP might solve. Using existing expertise from recent related projects and the backing of identified AFRL stakeholders, we are poised to quickly incorporate additional features that expand TNEBULA’s current commercial-use project tracking capabilities and create an avenue for aligning new technologies with funding priorities and commercialization efforts. By tying this information into an advanced analytics platform, we can advance coordination beyond personal connections and catalyze the discovery of technologies and technology providers to problem holders. This proposal encompasses a feasibility study and rapid prototyping, which when successful, will poise Mile Two for quick launch and commercialization of TechScout.
