Prototyping Through Non-Traditional Pathways
Abstract
Prototyping Through Non-Traditional Pathways leverages technology and emerging products developed by small, innovative businesses in the commercial sector. Ideas from non-traditional emerging technology companies are matched against Department of Defense (DoD), Combatant Commands (CCMD), Service, and other government organization priorities. Promising solutions are selected for further test and evaluation and, if successful, rapid prototyping or fielding to transition commercial ideas with military utility. These efforts support the Department's objectives of promoting effective competition, increasing speed to market, implementing technological and organizational innovation, and fielding affordable capabilities through innovation from commercial research and development. In FY 2017, Prototyping Through Non-Traditional Pathways conducted industry-wide engagements focused on the technology needs of the Department of Defense Sensors Community of Interest (COI), Electronic Warfare COI, Advanced Electronics COI, and the Joint Improvised-Threat Defeat Organization.
