SEEKING SOLUTIONS Te innovation “buzz” is clearly a lot louder now than when it began in the early part of this decade with the Defense Innovation Marketplace, which opened at http://www.defense innovationmarketplace.mil/ in Janu- ary 2012. Te marketplace has produced concrete results by providing a secure portal where industry can learn about DOD investment priorities and tech- nology requirements, and DOD can get the word out about current and future S&T and R&D priorities, events, pre- sentations and solicitations to meet the warfighter’s needs.


Te marketplace provides the knowledge for


industry to direct funds to areas with, at least


limited IR&D theoreti-


cally, the greatest potential to produce a payoff in the form of a contract, and DOD gains insight into industry IR&D investments that can help S&T and acquisition personnel plan programs better.


Since the portal opened, more than 120 organizations have submitted more than 18,000 IR&D efforts.


“Innovation does not only take place in Army labs,” said Dr. Tomas Rus- sell, acting deputy assistant secretary of


the Army for research and technology (DASA(R&T)). “Te Army S&T enter- prise engages industry to identify potential technology solutions to Army problems and capability challenges through stron- ger partnerships.


“Collaboration with industry is essential to guarantee success of the Army’s most important acquisition programs,” he said.


“Te Army invests its limited S&T dollars in finite, Army-specific areas, while lever- aging heavily innovations from industry and other partners wherever possible.”
