To date, the Naval Surface Technology & Innovation Consortium, a.k.a. NSTIC, has awarded more than $2 billion in contracts, supported 100 projects and distributed over $1 billion in project funding.
“NSTIC currently spans across 23 technology areas and the awards contribute to nearly every aspect of the Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division [NSWC-DD] portfolio,” Dale Sisson, technical director of NSWC-DD, said in a statement published Friday.
NSWC-DD created an other transaction agreement for NSTIC to facilitate engagement with industry and academia to advance the development of naval surface technologies in support of the Navy’s mission.
“This enables our hands-on research, development, and testing of weapon systems and highlights how we are mission focused, and product driven while delivering technical excellence to the fleet,” Sisson added.
NSWC-DD sponsors NSTIC, which is managed by South Carolina-based public service nonprofit Advanced Technology International.
In July 2023, NSWC-DD announced it reached $1 billion in total awards through the NSTIC OTA for fiscal years 2019 to 2023.
