Empowered Airmen

We live in a world that is driven by rapidly changing technology and an environment that includes aggressive and capable global competitors. Airmen are key to cutting unnecessary bureaucracy, recognizing and understanding our competition, and thinking of creative ways we can reshape the design of our Air Force. The Air Force must accelerate, must change, and must prepare for the future!

This page is dedicated towards highlighting the accomplishments of our talented Airmen at all levels and to show the impact they can make when they are informed and empowered to problem solve and make smart recommendations and decisions.

Propel, LLC, have developed novel way to remove the stitching and seam taping requirements for wet weather garments under a Navy Small Business Innovation Research Program contract. The result is about a 30 percent weight savings and a 40 percent bulk savings, which means a military operator can pack it much tighter and it weights much less.

Propel leveraged the July 2018 Tech Warrior OPS event to demonstrate this technology to military special operators and Ohio-based first responders.
