Advanced Research

Abstract

The Advanced Research program conducts leading edge advanced research and development to create and enable future missile defense capabilities. The Missile Defense Agency (MDA) executes this mission by capitalizing on the creativity and innovation of the brightest minds in our Nation's universities; small and large businesses; national laboratories; and collaborative research partnerships between allied countries, academic institutions, and industry. In accordance with identified Agency requirements and Warfighter needs, the program assesses and demonstrates the utility of emerging component technologies. After successful maturation and demonstration activities, the program facilitates transition of the technologies to the Missile Defense System through a Commercialization and Transition Office and other MDA programs.
