Established in 1958 as part of the U.S. Department of Defense, DARPA pursues opportunities for transformational change rather than incremental advances. It does so collaboratively as part of a robust innovation ecosystem that includes academic, corporate, and governmental partners. To fulfill its mission, the Agency relies on diverse performers from throughout this ecosystem to apply multi-disciplinary approaches to both advance knowledge through basic research and create innovative technologies that address current and predicted practical problems through applied research.

MGMWERX

MGMWERX was created under a Partnership Intermediary Agreement between DEFENSEWERX and the Air Force

MGMWERX was created under a Partnership Intermediary Agreement between DEFENSEWERX and the Air Force Research Laboratory to align with the education initiatives of Air University.

We augment Air University programs to enhance production of high-quality, innovative research and ideas that span issues of importance to the Air Force. This can includes: doctrine, strategies, capability needs, operational concepts, training, education, and science and technology.

With a central downtown Montgomery location, MGMWERX provides Air University with a direct connection to diverse ideas and innovations that exist outside of the military. As part of the DEFENSEWERX ecosystem, MGMWERX has access to nationwide resources and brings these external connections to Air University creating the routine collision of ideas and fostering an engine for innovation of huge proportions. Through MGMWERX, Air University students are exposed to a broad cross-section of industry, academia, as well as non-traditional commercial partners, to be better prepared to deal with an uncertain future.

At the MGMWERX facility, people and organizations experience innovation and collaboration in unique ways through experimentation with emerging tools, processes, and methods to get innovation to the warfighter faster.
