Using hackathons to ignite innovation in DOD

The Department of the Air Force will conduct its next “BRAVO” hackathon March 20 to 24, at HurlBurt Field in Florida. Prior BRAVO hackathons have resulted in prototypes and innovations that influence major Department of Defense programs.

Stuart Wagner, chief digital transformation officer of the Air Force and Space Force, and Jimmy “Rev” Jones, lead program manager of the Air Force’s “STITCHES” warfighter application team, explain what their organization hopes to learn from these hackathons.
