A group of 2024 Air Force Research Laboratory, or AFRL, Commander’s Challenge competitors from Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio, gather for a team photo at a kickoff event held at the Wright Brothers Institute in Dayton, Ohio, May 17, 2024. The team, consisting of seven competitors and two mentors, represents AFRL’s Aerospace Systems, Headquarters, Materials and Manufacturing, Plans and Programs and Sensors directorates, AFRL’s 711th Human Performance Wing and the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center, and answered AFRL Commander Maj. Gen. Scott A. Cain’s March 2024 call for contenders in this year’s Commander’s Challenge competition. With just six months and a $75,000 budget, the Wright-Patterson team will develop and deliver low-cost solutions to counter slow-moving, high-altitude aerial targets. They will face off with a team of friendly rivals from Eglin Air Force Base, Fla., and Kirtland Air Force Base, N.M., in a final competition in December, where both teams will demonstrate and test their proposed solutions before a panel of judges.
