The SBIR and STTR programs help turn America's small businesses into defense innovators, funding tech ranging from AI and autonomy to quantum, hypersonics, and advanced sensing.
With $41B+ invested, they've become a key pipeline for delivering new capabilities to the warfighter.

[Decisive Point @decisivepointvc]

The U.S has identified six Critical Technology Areas (CTAs) that will shape the future, focusing on AI, biomanufacturing, contested logistics, quantum technologies, directed energy, and hypersonics to accelerate the delivery of next-generation capabilities to the warfighter.

[Decisive Point @decisivepointvc]

The U.S. is expanding its advanced nuclear strategy with new reactor milestones, AI-driven research, and nearly 300 Genesis Mission projects designed to accelerate innovation and strengthen America's future energy supply.
