Defense Innovation Unit (DIU)
Abstract
The U.S. DoD relies on innovation to maintain our nation's ability to deter, and if need be, prevail in conflict. With outposts in Mountain View, California; Cambridge, Massachusetts; Washington, D.C.; and Austin, Texas, DIU serves as a bridge between those in the U.S. Military executing national security and defense missions with companies developing cutting-edge commercial technology. DIU continuously experiments with methods to identify, contract, prototype, and transition novel commercial solutions from leading companies to the warfighter for applications in headquarters or operational environments and transfer technology with commercial entities that would not otherwise do work with the DoD. The end goal is to accelerate DoD adoption of cutting-edge technology and grow the national security innovation base to support U.S. military-technical superiority.
