Industry-leading program acceleration
The unique ecosystem of public/private partnering at Catalyst Campus has allowed for the creation and curation of many class-leading programs – from the Campus facilitated Catalyst to the Air Force Platform One Dev Ops, and the Microsoft Software and Systems Academy, just to name a few. Check out the many more programs that call Catalyst Campus home.
Programs thriving at Catalyst Campus
Our campuses play host to a number of commercial, Department of Defense and joint-partnership programs, furthering the art of the possible through unique collaborations.
Air Force Cyberworx
Air Force CyberWorx is an Air Force innovation organization located at the U.S. Air Force Academy, operationally controlled by Air Combat Command (ACC). It leverages agile capabilities and processes, paired with emerging technologies and user-centered design, to approach challenges with a unique focus.
Its stakeholders include the Air Force, Space Force, Combatant Commands (COCOMs), Major Commands (MAJCOMs), and program offices. AF CyberWorx supports the warfighter by developing prototypes and courses of action (COAs) in collaboration with users, industry, and academia to solve complex problems.
It has access to authorities such as Other Transaction Agreements (OTAs) and Commercial Solutions Openings (CSOs) to help Department of the Air Force partners explore development options. It also leverages SBIR/STTR funding to accelerate early-stage solutions.

Orbital Labs
Orbital Labs is a software factory focused on the continuous development and deployment of USSF mission applications to the warfighter. As a software node of Platform One (the DoD Executive Agent for DevSecOps) for Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD), we aim to avoid vendor-lock by building an open platform (Kubernetes/Istio), embrace DevSecOps principles outlined by the DoD CIO and AF CSO, consider microservice/service mesh architectures early and often, leverage event-driven behavior across the entire portfolio, and build a network of like-minded software shops for collaboration. By embracing the eXtreme Programming (XP) flavor of agile software development (paired programming, test-driven development, CI/CD, and small iterations), Space CAMP is able to continually produce quality code that can adapt to rapid changes and meet the high level of security standards necessary for maintaining a Continuous Authority to Operate (C-ATO). The applications developed at Space CAMP follow the user-centered design, a process through which designers continuously engage with users and employ a mixture of investigative and generative methods and tools to develop an understanding of user needs. This whole process results in recurring capability delivery to the operations floor.

UDL
The Unified Data Library (UDL), sponsored by AFRL/RV, was developed on Catalyst Campus by Bluestaq. The UDL is an enterprise data-sharing platform used by global data commercial providers to exchange information through machine-to-machine interfaces. The cloud-hosted UDL enables academic, government and commercially-gathered data to be leveraged for research and development of technological solutions for both defense and commercial markets. The UDL is the data distribution hub responsible for distributing air, maritime, space, and ground information in real time to the rest of the Air Battle Management System. It provides real-time transaction of a wide array of Space Domain Awareness (SDA) products.

The interweaving between commercial and government so you understand the federal business place and opportunities is probably one of the best we’ve seen. It was great to see that the government said, “we need QuSecure”, and we got that just as we were finishing our time at Catalyst Campus.
QuSecure
The Accelerator program reaches excellence through the dynamic support found within the collaborative Catalyst Campus community. The access to both commercial expertise and government customers is key to our success.
