The U.S. Marine Corps Warfighting Laboratory ("MCWL") in Quantico, VA, has contracted InSitech, Inc. to help the Lab discover a broader spectrum of innovative and non-traditional technology providers than its current mechanisms and resources typically provide. Established in 1995, MCWL creates technological and strategic advances in response to the needs of today's warfighter, and works closely with the Office of Naval Research and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency. MCWL's eclectic mix of combat veterans, technical experts and forward thinkers combines to provide timely and exacting responses to current needs and future threats. Experimentation is continuous.
Through this website, InSitech is assisting MCWL with the identification and evaluation of promising technology alternatives with which to support its experimentation efforts in the following topical areas:
Any technology relevant to these topics, from concept stage all the way through to fielded products, is of potential interest. If you would like to have your company considered, please click on a topic of interest below for further details and the opportunity to submit a white paper. If you wish to respond to more than one topic you may do so.
Important Points to Note about this Opportunity
Responses to the technology Topics are at the discretion of the Respondents. There is no guarantee of selection or funding, and neither the Topics nor their responses obligate the U.S. Government or InSitech in any way. Furthermore:
This outreach effort is for market research; the objective is to determine whether promising technologies and technology development partners exist
Responses to this outreach may be evaluated by InSitech and the U.S. Government
Based on the U.S. Government's evaluation (and through possible follow-on discussions with selected respondents), the U.S. Government may decide to fund programs around promising technology areas (if any) via a U.S. Government issued solicitation
Respondents to this outreach may be specifically invited by the U.S. Government to respond to U.S. Government issued solicitations on these topics with proposals
Respondents to this outreach may also be specifically presented with other opportunities to partner with the U.S. Government through mechanisms such as Collaborative Research and Development Agreements (CRADA's)
U.S. and non-U.S. companies are invited to respond to this RFI
