The U.S. Department of War is accelerating technology adoption for Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear (CBRN) defense by integrating user experimentation into the acquisition process to ensure equipment meets warfighter needs and is adopted faster. This approach involves early warfighter involvement through experimentation and demonstrations, supported by a dedicated facility called the Foundry, speeding development and preventing resource waste on unsupported capabilities.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
You can no longer develop military tech in isolation from end users. Delivering early prototypes to warfighters for direct feedback should be your priority to avoid costly late-stage redesigns and speed adoption.
