We value our partnership and our ability to advance government innovation alongside our partners at the Crane Regional Defense Group! We look forward to many great collaborations in 2026.

Space is no longer just the final frontier; it’s a critical warfighting domain. What does it take to secure the future of U.S. space capabilities? Join Doug Crowe, VP of NSTXL, SpEC, as he gives a keynote: “Collaboration, Research, and Investment: Building the Future of Space Capabilities.” In this session, he’ll explore: - Why space is central to modern defense - The growing importance of public-private collaboration - How strategic investment shapes the next generation of capabilities Hosted at Purdue University (Memorial Union) Part of the Space Policy, Science + Technology Symposium Wednesday, March 25, 2026 | 9:15 AM EDT If you're thinking about the future of national security, innovation, or space strategy, this is a conversation you don’t want to miss. Save your spot and be part of the discussion shaping tomorrow’s space landscape. Register here > https://lnkd.in/gy9_Kpwa #SpaceDefense #SpaceSymposium #NSTXL

#RequestforSolutions | The RFS was just released for the MOSAIC opportunity by Naval Surface Warfare Center, Crane. | Submit Solutions & Questions Below Questions are due on: March 26, 2026 at 12:00 PM ET  Task Area 1 PRIM2E Whitepaper Deadline: April 7, 2026 at 12:00 PM ET Task Area 2 mDICE Response Deadline: April 20, 2026 at 12:00 PM ET The Department of War (DoW) faces significant challenges in acquiring and sustaining microelectronics for critical weapons systems. Rising modernization costs, lengthy refresh cycles, and reliance on legacy or obsolete components hinder our ability to field microelectronics technology and modernize systems at a rate that outpaces our adversaries. MOSAIC consists of two programs: Procurement and Integration Modernization of Microelectronics (PRIM2E) and Microelectronics Defense Integrated Cloud Environment (mDICE).   • PRIM2E will modernize microelectronics for fielded weapon systems and develop and standardize methods and common data packages across the sustainment lifecycle. • Synergistically, mDICE will standardize enterprise capabilities, enhance and unify previously siloed solutions, and provide a department-wide storefront for reusability of microelectronics IP. • This RFS solicits white papers for PRIM2E phase 1 and proposals from mDICE phase 1 participants. PRIM2E will inform and guide the creation of mDICE; however, mDICE requests a separate solution due to its broader foundational functions that extend beyond PRIM2E. Submit your solutions & questions here: https://lnkd.in/eh8Kgvpp

#ComingSoon | Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) Crane is preparing to release a prototype project Multimode Threat Simulation Development, focused on advancing modeling and simulation (M&S) capabilities to support countermeasure development for emerging multimode anti‑aircraft missile systems. This effort aims to enhance flexible, modular simulation approaches that represent multispectral sensors, complex engagements, and evolving threat behaviors.   Key Areas of Interest Include:   1) Verification & Validation 2) Multispectral Sensing 3) Modeling & Simulation 4) Cognitive and adaptive sensing and engagement technologies 5) Advanced/custom optics, threat assessment, and exploitation capabilities   Learn more about the Multimode Threat Simulation Development (MTSD)   opportunity here: https://lnkd.in/e7AuExSQ
