Request for Information (RFI)
The North Carolina Defense Technology Transition Office (NC DEFTECH) is launching a technology, innovation, demonstration, and experimentation program entitled: DEFTECH TIDE. TIDE provides an opportunity for technology developers to demonstrate and experiment with new and evolving technological capabilities in an operationally relevant environment and obtain government customer insights into federal technology gaps and emerging needs.
DEFTECH TIDE is a Four-Phased Program. Phases 1-3 are quarterly, and Phase 4 is an annual event.
· Phase 1: Request for Quad Charts. Canvas for innovative technologies that can address complex national security problems that are at a technology readiness level (TRL) of 4 or greater.
· Phase 2: In collaboration with government experts, down select companies to present their technologies.
· Phase 3: Selectees present/demonstrate their technology to a panel of government experts at the Future Advanced Technology Quarterly. All submissions will be cataloged and shared with government stakeholders.
· Phase 4: Annual event to demonstrate/experiment in an operational environment with military operators.
DEFTECH TIDE Goals:
1. Connect on the problem and collaboratively iterate critical technology solutions to solve Warfighter needs.
2. Build a cyclical program in NC to showcase emerging technology solutions and baseline current technological approaches.
3. Create external partnerships and teaming opportunities across the national Defense Industrial Base (DIB).
