Our Process

Our approach is a three-step process with distinct but overlapping phases to ensure potential new solutions are prototyped and tested quickly, and optimized for success at scale. The RSO is focused on a set of six core technology areas where emerging and commercial technology solutions have outsized impact on increasing readiness and decreasing costs.

Identify
Identify, assess and develop mature, new and emerging technologies from across the public and private sectors.
Apply
Prototype, validate and verify the utility of a solution in an Air Force environment.
Scale
Deploy technology or processes across the Air Force enterprise that successfully demonstrate the ability to decrease cost and/or increase readiness.
