The U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) is looking for a few really good ideas–concepts that have the potential to advance our military’s missions. This program focuses on the development of leading edge, research-oriented technology culminating in the assembly of a pre-acquisition prototype or multiple prototypes suitable for field testing.

DefenseSolutions.gov is a portal through which innovative companies, entrepreneurs, and research organizations can offer potential solutions to the DoD needs. Although anyone can submit an idea, this portal, and the team behind it, primarily are designed to encourage companies to participate that have never considered doing business with the DoD.

Use this portal to submit your ideas and get an initial response in less than 30 days. To begin the submission process for a current theme, click on the theme below, or join our e-mail list and we will notify you when other topics are added.

Our process depends on direct communication with you when you submit an attractive idea in an area needing a solution.
