Prototyping Through Non-Traditional Pathways
Abstract
Prototyping Through Non-Traditional Pathways leverages technologies and emerging products developed by small, innovative businesses in the commercial sector including information technologies; internet-of-things sensors and adaptive networks; bio-medical advances; emerging quantum applications; and novel microelectronic/microelectromechanical system innovations. Ideas from non-traditional emerging technology companies are matched against DoD, Combatant Command, Service, and other government 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 leveraging commercial innovation to maintain technology superiority; increasing rate of technology maturation; exploring alternative and faster pathways for acquisition; and fielding affordable and effective joint mission capabilities.
