Advanced Technology Development

Abstract

MDA explores potential new BMDS capabilities by leveraging the creativity and innovation of the Nation's small businesses and universities to conduct advanced technology development. MDA also pursues advanced technology development through cooperative international research agreements between U.S. and foreign universities of allied nations. The program manages the selection process and administers the Missile Defense Small Business Innovation Research program element, 0605502C. Small Business Innovation Research topics and projects are selected annually based on identified needs across the BMDS and executed in partnership with sponsoring intra-agency organizations. MDA's Advanced Technology Development Project pursues a broad range of emerging technology targeted for application and insertion into the BMDS. This work facilitates the commercialization and transition of promising technology into the BMDS by promoting a cooperative environment to reduce cost and increase return on investment between small business, prime contractors, and MDA elements.
