A crucial aspect of government innovation is the ability to collaborate between agencies. These partnerships often go under the radar but are a key aspect of rapid innovation. Without the support of neighboring agencies who play a role in the success of a project, innovation can be hindered or blocked. ►
The NDIA Emerging Technologies conference in Washington, D.C. featured a wide range of congressional leaders who discussed what’s at the forefront of innovation for defense technology. This three-day event featured discussions on everything from acquisition approaches to innovative data management solutions. With representatives from offices including Test and Evaluation (T&E), ►
This month marks two years since President Biden signed the CHIPS and Science Act into law. In 2022, nearly $53 billion was invested in the effort to re-onshore semiconductor manufacturing capabilities to the United States. Over the last two years, the CHIPS and Science Act celebrated many “historic achievements,” including ►
To ensure that the U.S. remains at the forefront of semiconductor technology, the Department of Defense (DoD) must ensure industry access to critical technologies. To develop an infrastructure that will eventually enable a sustainable domestic innovation pipeline, it is imperative to develop domestic research and development capabilities. The Microelectronics ►
Workforce development is a critical piece to consider when developing an infrastructure for large-scale prototype manufacturing and a major component of the success of Microelectronics Commons. Microelectronics Commons, awarded under the CHIPS and Science Act in 2023, is a network of eight prototyping Hubs. As a “lab to fab” ►
Semiconductors are essential components in various electronic devices, serving as the foundation for modern technology. Recognizing the critical importance of semiconductor manufacturing to national security and economic vitality, the United States Congress passed the CHIPS Act in 2022. This legislation, signed by President Biden, aims to bolster domestic semiconductor production, ►
At NSTXL, we are on a mission to transform Government innovation efforts with commercial best practices, tools, and expertise that compress timelines, decrease costs, and improve outcomes. To date, over $5.5B in funds have been awarded across NSTXL-managed Other Transaction Authorities (OTAs).
In this interview, NSTXL President & Founder Tim Greeff sits down the the Honorable Heidi Shyu, Chief Technology Officer for the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering (USD(R&E)).
