Innovative technologies emerging from non-traditional sources
Abstract
These funds will be used to discover emerging technologies, evaluate their potential to fit DoD needs, and where appropriate conduct critical tests of the components or software under DoD conditions. The facilitation of early interactions and meaningful information exchanges between the innovative companies and DoD users will accelerate the application of emerging technical solutions to DoD needs, reduce development costs, and avoid potentially disastrous technological surprises from insurgent use of such new technology. In addition, it is important to understand how developments in commercial technology might impact existing DoD programs and systems. Equally important, new commercial technologies may require new DoD policies on the use of the technology or a modification to existing DoD policy.
