The Pentagon's Special Operations office is running a one-day accelerator event on 24 July where 15 companies pitch solutions across nine mission areas, with contracts awarded same-day and a goal to field selected technologies within six months instead of the traditional three-plus years.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Defense Tech.

◆ The Wire takeaway

If you've built something for special operations and can write a two-page white paper, you have 15 slots to pitch directly to buyers who award contracts same-day and field tech in six months instead of three years. This is the open door to defence buyers who've stopped waiting for traditional vendors.
