The Air Force Explore competition will take submissions for ideas that have "transformational potential, operational viability, cost and technical feasibility," the branch said in a statement Organizers project four to seven awards will be given out valued at between $1 million to $2 million each. "This call is intended as a catalyst to transform our capabilities to become the Air Force we need," said Maj. Gen. William Cooley, Air Force Research Laboratory commander.

"The Air Force is open to all avenues and we're letting the unlimited national market show us where the best ideas are." The submissions deadline is Nov. 11, and funding invitations will go out by March 2020.
