00:00.650 --> 00:05.130
- The Spark Cell is a way to
jumpstart and help facilitate

00:05.130 --> 00:08.860
the projects as well as to
educate and foster a culture

00:08.860 --> 00:12.090
of solving problems instead
of coming up with problems

00:12.090 --> 00:14.460
and either complaining
about them or just assuming

00:14.460 --> 00:16.210
that there's nothing we can change.

00:17.350 --> 00:19.700
- So the reason innovation is
so important to the Air Force

00:19.700 --> 00:23.290
right now is the speed at which
our adversaries are moving,

00:23.290 --> 00:25.110
and the speed at which
industry is actually moving

00:25.110 --> 00:26.453
to generate innovation.

00:27.470 --> 00:29.590
We need to operate that
fast as the Air Force,

00:29.590 --> 00:31.750
take advantage of that
innovation in the private sector

00:31.750 --> 00:33.400
to bring solutions to bare,

00:33.400 --> 00:36.483
counter the threat we're seeing
to our national security.

00:38.320 --> 00:40.080
- The idea behind a Spark Cell is

00:40.080 --> 00:44.800
to have someone to coach
and guide people through

00:44.800 --> 00:47.050
what resources, how to work through ideas.

00:47.050 --> 00:48.230
There's a lot of people with ideas,

00:48.230 --> 00:49.560
they just don't know where to go.

00:49.560 --> 00:51.120
We are gonna find a way of producing

00:51.120 --> 00:54.120
smarter, faster, better,
increasing the efficiency

00:54.120 --> 00:56.970
of the overall Air Force so
we can do our mission better.
