    Madera Cyber Innovation Center Opens at Air Force Academy, Elevates Cadet Cyber Warfare Training

    Paul Madera, class of 1978, and Joan Madera, at the opening of the advanced cyber training facility named in their honor. Every Air Force Academy cadet for years to come will pass through the Madera Center for Cyber Innovation.

    The Madera Cyber Innovation Center at the U.S. Air Force Academy, which opened April 25, has 29 miles of cable connecting cadets with the future of cyber space. All academy cadets are required to complete “Computer Science 110: Introduction to Computing and Cyber Operations” before graduation, in recognition of the pivotal role these studies play as they graduate from cadet to warfighter.

    The 48,000-square-foot facility houses the Department of Computer and Cyber Sciences, CyberWorx, The Institute for Future Conflict and 14 specialized laboratories and classrooms. The new center enhances cadets’ education and training in military conflict preparedness and cyber warfare — both offensive and defensive — as well as in cyber technology and security.
