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. The project identifies ideas from non-traditional emerging technology companies that match DoD, CCMD, 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 capabilities. In FY 2019, Prototyping Through Non-Traditional Pathways conducted reviews focused on priorities of USSOCOM, Joint Improvised-Threat Defeat Organization, cyber community of interest, and Office of the Under Secretary of Defense, Research and Engineering.
