D3 Technologies’ Post

🌐 Global Circuit Innovations, Inc. wins $780,721 award from the Department of Defense, Defense Logistics Agency! 💸 This STTR Phase II award is for spare parts of NSN 5998-00-338-7373 and NSN 5998-01-348-7781. The goal is to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of military logistics. 📦 The award is part of the Small Technology Transfer Research Program (STTR) and will last for 1.75 years, starting from April 23, 2024, and ending on January 30, 2026. The research type is Experimental Development. #SBIR #STTR #DefenseLogistics

Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto, D-Nev., proposed legislation this week that would require the Defense Department to set up a new pilot program to trace all contracts that are awarded via other transaction agreements, or OTAs. The Pentagon uses this procurement mechanism to enable components more flexibility than traditional funding pathways do. OTAs are also seen as a way to support small companies carrying out technology-driven prototype, research, and production projects for the government and military. https://lnkd.in/eM7U9Zvf

The Department of Defense recently published the unclassified National Defense Industrial Strategy Implementation Plan (NDIS-IP) detailing how the DoD can achieve a more resilient defense industrial ecosystem, including the prioritization of Other Transaction Authorities (OTA) to streamline processes, accelerate innovations, and support small businesses. Read more about the NDIS-IP here: https://lnkd.in/dUp-pDem At the NAC, we help members effectively engage with the government and collaborate within the industrial base and academia to develop prototype technologies that better prepare our warfighters for the battlefield.

“The Defense Department is signaling its demand for a new era of innovation. There is a wealth of private-sector talent and capital eager to meet that demand. Both sides should seek opportunities to bridge the two — and foster the tech and talent that, as the Cold War showed, can defeat adversaries while also delivering enormous economic benefits to the American people.” Defense Innovation Board Chair Mike Bloomberg hit the nail on the head. A dual focus of Integrating new tech and attracting top talent to present the best solutions to national defense are the way forward. Many of my friends in Silicon Valley and in burgeoning maker spaces/hack-a-thons in universities across America recognize the opportunity that is present and through organizations like Shift and Reindustrialize are seeking to push the conversation forward. The intersection of our nations toughest technological questions and our brightest talent is a natural one - we just have to remove the roadblocks. Be The Solution.

The Global Navigation and satellite system (GNSS) will be a fundamental enabler, as increasing numbers of 5G tactical and strategic communications networks will rely on networked orbiting satellites for on-the-spot voice, data, and imagery communications. 

Trusted by government, military and defense organizations worldwide, today’s thermal imaging cameras provide greater accuracy, faster speeds, improved resolution, and software development kits that deliver first measurements faster than ever before.

Powerful OpEd from Michael Bloomberg Chair of Defense Innovation Board…in today’s modern warfare, data is a weapon and speed of decision-quality is paramount. Glad to see this viewpoint is gaining more and more momentum! Bloomberg: “One area the board has been focusing on is changing the way the department treats data. In the private sector, data is an asset — a resource that can help an organization improve over time. In the military, however, good data is too often out of reach. Sometimes it’s not collected. Other times, it’s not digitized, just a pile of paper locked away in a cabinet. Sometimes the fastest way to retrieve and share it is to move it onto a disc and send it by snail mail. And even when that happens, data is only as good as the analytical tools that can unlock its promise, which the department often lacks.” These views are my own and not necessarily that of the Federal Government. #rapid #impactful #sustainable #innovation #capability #dataisaweapon
