Defense Innovation Board Releases Two Studies on Scaling Innovation in Nontraditional Industry and Drone Manufacturing
Washington, D.C. – The Defense Innovation Board (DIB) today released two studies on scaling innovation in nontraditional industry and drone manufacturing. The studies were commissioned by the Department of Defense (DoD) to identify and address barriers to innovation in these areas.
The first study, titled “Scaling Innovation in Nontraditional Industry,” examines the challenges and opportunities for DoD to engage with nontraditional industry partners. The study finds that DoD can benefit from nontraditional industry partners’ access to new technologies, innovative ideas, and diverse perspectives. However, the study also identifies a number of barriers to collaboration, including differences in culture, language, and business practices.
The second study, titled “Scaling Drone Manufacturing,” examines the challenges and opportunities for DoD to scale up domestic drone manufacturing. The study finds that DoD has a number of needs for drones, including surveillance, reconnaissance, and precision strike. However, the study also identifies a number of challenges to scaling up drone manufacturing, including a lack of skilled workers, a fragmented supply chain, and a lack of investment in research and development.
The DIB is a group of experts from industry, academia, and government who advise the Secretary of Defense on innovation. The board was created in 2016 to help DoD identify and address barriers to innovation.
The two studies released today are part of the DIB’s broader effort to scale innovation in the defense sector. The board is also working on a number of other initiatives, including developing a new innovation strategy for DoD, creating a new innovation fund, and establishing a new innovation center.
The studies released today are an important step in DoD’s efforts to scale innovation. The studies provide a roadmap for DoD to overcome the challenges and seize the opportunities in nontraditional industry and drone manufacturing.
