How We Do It

Problems released through SPARTN are tied to the Army's needs and to other focused modernization efforts.

We provide industry the ability to connect with Army stakeholders and end users (Soldiers) for deeper insight into the problem.

We have a deliverable-based funding approach that helps companies have stable financial footing through the technology development process.

Acquisition teams are included early with the goal of easing transition and building new tech into recurring budgets.
