Paving the Way for New Ideas

Our partnerships with small business helps keep us abreast of state-of-the art technologies and solutions, contributing to our ongoing efforts to modernize the Army.

Some examples of recent small business partnership successes include:

Applying new radio frequency and photonic technology to eliminate communication signal interference.

Utilizing advances in chemical detection technology to detect chemical weapons at low concentration levels.
