New Frontier Aerospace Among Teams Competing in AFWERX Energy Showcase
Amzeal News/10403596
LIVERMORE, Calif. - Amzeal -- AFWERX, the catalyst for fostering innovation within the U.S. Air Force, announced New Frontier Aerospace (NFA) as one of the 179 participating teams selected from across the globe competing to Reimagine Energy for the DoD.
The AFWERX Challenge is centered around six topics - Fixed and Mobile Energy Generation, Energy Transmission and Distribution, Fixed and Mobile Energy Storage, New Warfighting and Operational Equipment, Data Availability for Improved Planning and Decision Making, and Energy Culture, Policy, and Education. The proposals selected to advance represent innovative solutions to allow for more effective warfighting and humanitarian missions less reliant on fossil fuels.
Headquartered in Livermore, CA, NFA is competing in the Fixed and Mobile Energy Generation Challenge alongside a diverse group of teams - originating from allied countries all over the world – that represent entrepreneurial startups, small businesses, large enterprises, academic institutions and research labs all vying to Reimagine Energy for the Department of Defense.
The Fixed and Mobile Energy Generation Challenge strives to find alternative energy sources and decrease reliance on fossil fuels. The Department of Defense (DoD) consumes large amounts of operational and facility energy to provide a combat-credible force. The DoD is one of the largest single consumers of energy globally, and the Air Force is the largest user of fuel energy in the US Government. The way the DoD generates, transmits, stores, and uses this enormous amount of energy today is both a paramount combat enabler and a potentially crippling vulnerability.

"The AFWERX Reimagining Energy for the DoD Challenge is critical to our mission of increasing collaboration between large businesses and entrepreneurs to accelerate solutions for the Air Force," stated Mark Rowland of AFWERX. "On behalf of AFWERX and the Department of Defense, we congratulate the teams advancing to the next phase. Their contributions are invaluable and have the potential to create game-changing results across the Air Force enterprise."
NFA's solution for this challenge uses small amounts of concentrated energy - from a distributed network in space - to provide safe, affordable and accessible 24/7 power to precise locations on the ground.
"Our goal is to provide power to those who need it anywhere on Earth - at the speed of light", said Vic Karpenko, NFA Senior Space Systems Engineer.
