Project Mercury Fosters Innovation
KADENA AIR BASE, Japan — With continued steps towards force modernization and adaptability, the U.S. Air Force is developing innovative solutions to tackle rising challenges; that is where Project Mercury comes in.
Starting as a joint venture in 2019 between Air University and the University of Michigan, Project Mercury began as a 13 week course and now operates as an independent military consultancy aimed at providing detailed, long lasting solutions instead of short-term ‘band-aid’ fixes.
Members across Kadena Air Base participated in the Project Mercury Innovator Workshop over several days, which is aimed at fostering group leaders to handle rising issues with new ways of problem-solving.
