New Initiative Aims to Clear Bottlenecks in Military Tech Adoption
The Defense Innovation Unit has launched a new initiative, the Bridge Program, aimed at clearing major constraints associated with transitioning proven commercial technologies directly into the military services. According to a memo from DIU’s Director Owen West, the program will focus on eliminating bottlenecks in security clearances, classified workspace access, and technology testing and accreditations. The initiative is part of DIU’s efforts to rapidly supply measurable combat power to the joint force, as reported by Unknown Source.
