Innovation isn't just a buzzword to be thrown around. It is the culture of streamlining processes, improving workflows, and challenging the status quo one project at a time.

Our mission is to accelerate warfighter-focused innovation by identifying operational gaps, implementing emerging technologies, and delivering practical solutions that enhance readiness across the 35th Fighter Wing.

The Innovation Cell is the Wing's conduit to the CSAF's Strategic Studies Group, the VCSAF's Pathfinder Program, AFWERX, AFRL's Tech Maneuver: Shadow Tech, Project Arc, and Developmental Engineers from the 62E career field.

Come to Tower 220 Room 2H anytime. Bring us a mission problem, volunteer your skills, or explore what the cell has already built.
