RPED harnesses the Navy’s industry consortiums, such as the Information Warfare Research Project (IWRP), which is pursuing its second round of transitioning technology. “NAVWAR’s IWRP was the first prototyping OTA for the Navy,” he says. “But now there’s five other consortiums across the Navy in other technology areas.”
The goal is to help the DoD better execute its National Defense Strategy by preventing various forms of violent, abusive and harmful acts within military contexts.
