Hawaii Technology Development Venture

Protection (non-lethal capabilities for urban operations; defense against short, medium and long range ballistic and cruise missiles; computer network defense; trusted systems and assurance; broad spectrum medical countermeasures; stand-off fissile material detection).

Battle-Space Awareness (information fusion and decision making; language translation and understanding; cultural and social network understanding; locating, tagging and tracking; interoperable command and control; alternatives to space for persistent surveillance/enhanced UAVs; software-intensive systems producibility).

Force Applications (prompt global strike; energetic materials; undersea warfare; air dominance; increased lethality).

Focused Logistics (alternative energy/energy efficiency; improved responsive access to space; reduced logistics footprint; reduced manpower requirements).
