A

Statement of Task

An ad hoc committee consisting of retired government, industry and academia was formed to:

  1. Define the current state of practice of experimentation within the Air Force (AF).
  2. Assess the role of experimentation in the innovation life-cycle and address how it can support the Air Force’s future technology requirements.
  3. Evaluate the role of risk management and experimentation in the innovation life cycle.
  4. Evaluate current legislative, organizational or other barriers that limit the use of experimentation within the AF.
  5. Review and recommend best practices for incentivizing experimentation based on an assessment of comparable S&T organizations.
  6. Recommend metrics that can be implemented across the AF to monitor and assess the use and value of experimentation.
  7. 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.

The Workshop on the Role of Experimentation Campaigns in the Innovation Cycle was held in January 2016 to define and assess the current use of experimentation campaigns within the Air Force, evaluate barriers to their use, and make recommendations to increase their use. Participants at the workshop presented a broad range of issues, experiences, and insights related to experimentation, experimentation campaigns, and innovation. This publication summarizes the presentations and discussions from the workshop.
