Help take the DAF Battle Network to the next level!  

Welcome to our Industry Engagement Team’s Front Door.  We facilitate PAE C3BM and government agency collaboration with commercial companies, FFRDCs, PIAs, and Academic entities that seek to grow or share tested and emerging technologies that may help strengthen our national security. 

We are committed to fostering an ecosystem with industry – one that drives innovation and accelerates the delivery of cutting-edge capabilities to the DAF when and where we need them, while maintaining the Warfighter's Edge. 

This page simplifies the process of connecting with us and our partners, providing clear pathways to innovation.
