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 (SBIR) program element (PE), 0605502C. SBIR topics and projects are selected annually based on 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 technologies targeted for application and insertion into the BMDS. This work facilitates the commercialization and transition of promising technologies into the BMDS by promoting a cooperative environment to reduce cost and increase return on investment between small businesses, prime contractors, and MDA elements.
