Defense Technology Innovation
Abstract
This program will fund the development of novel leading-edge technologies emerging from high-tech companies that are not traditional defense contractors. These funds will enable the Department to source break through and emerging technologies applicable to the defense mission as identified in the Defense Innovation Unit Experimental (DIUx), or the Components, for potential incorporation into the Department’s weapon systems and operational capabilities. An objective of this program is to obtain innovative ideas from industry that have low technology readiness of high priority to DoD leadership. Incoming proposals will be approved by the Assistant Secretary of Defense, Research and Engineering to ensure alignment with the DoD’s strategic objectives and increase our permeability to disruptive change, and strengthen our nation’s security.
