AFMC duo compete for Spark Tank

WRIGHT-PATTERSON AFB, Ohio - The Air Force Materiel Command (AFMC) named two finalists to compete against other major command-selects in the Air Force for the 2020 Spark Tank competition: AF 2nd Lt. Justin O’Brien, a flight chief at the 88th Air Base Wing at Wright-Patt, and Tech Sgt. Maevemallory Kaneakalau, a member of the 96th Security Forces Squadron at Eglin AFB, Fla. O’Brien's Liquid Cooled Plate Carrier and Kaneakalau’s Virtual Visitor Control Center projects were selected from more than 15 submissions from across the AFMC command as having the highest probability of delivering game-changing impact for Air Force needs. The AFMC duo will compete in the finals at AFWERX against the winners from other AF major commands. The AFWERX judge’s panel will then choose six MAJCOM finalists and two wildcard selections who will present their project ideas to AF senior leaders, industry experts and investors during the Air Force Association Air Warfare Symposium in Orlando, Fla.
