​The program grew significantly during the third competition season, as the Northrop Grumman Foundation joined as Presenting Sponsor and made a profound impact. The competition split into two Divisions, the Open for public and private high school teams and home school organizations and the All Service for all JROTC programs and Civil Air Patrol. 678 teams from 48 states, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, South Korea, and Japan competed in three online rounds using SAIC's CyberNEXS system.  The season had two in-person rounds, a Semifinals in Orlando for the top 2 teams from each service and the National Finals Competition in Washington, D.C. for the top 12 Open Division teams and top team from each service advancing from the Semifinals. ​Red Bank Regional High School from Little Silver, NJ claimed the Open Division Championship and Orlando Cadet Squadron (CAP) from Orlando, FL took the Championship in the All Service Division.
