The U.S. Department of War’s Office of the Assistant Secretary of War for Special Operations and Low-Intensity Conflict will host a one-day innovation event on July 24 in the national capital region. The event aims to accelerate technology acquisition for special operations by engaging over a dozen companies to pitch solutions across nine mission areas. Participants will present proposals to address challenges, with selected projects receiving initial funding and progressing through staged gates to prototype delivery and production. The goal is to reduce the time from contract award to fielding technology to six months or less, compared to traditional acquisition timelines of three or more years. The event emphasizes collaboration between warfighters, private-sector innovators, and acquisition experts to streamline processes and prioritize rapid deployment of advanced capabilities.
