Value We Provide to DoD Mission Partners

1.

Understand Problems and Challenges

We offer in person and virtual workshops to identify and define the problems and challenges facing your command. By fostering deep understanding of the problems and challenges you are facing, we get to the root cause of the issue and identify the areas where technology can be applied to solve the problem.

2.

Clearly State Needs and Objectives

We support the development of the documentation you need to move quickly through the acquisition process, including statements of need, features and functions lists, and initial market assessments required to advance the acquisition of critical technology.

3.

Find Novel Emerging Technology

Access to a searchable database of XXX non-traditional vendors and technologies for the rapid identification of existing capabilities to meet the stated need. This database has the ability to filter available known technologies based on technology area, specific features and functions, and TRL, shortening the time it takes you to find what you are looking for.

4.

Understand Timeline for Development

We work with you to build custom roadmaps that identify the most efficient acquisition pathway, including time-based milestones and deliverable, based on warfighter needs and command requirements.

5.

Networking and Partnerships

Co-locate in the Mission Acceleration Center and work side-by-side with our experts, non-traditional vendors and DoD leads from other branches of the military.
