The mission of the DoD Ordnance Technology Consortium (DOTC), in partnership with the National Armaments Consortium (NAC), is to enhance our warfighters’ lethality, survivability and combat effectiveness by facilitating the industrial and academic research, development and technology demonstrations needed to advance and expand our military technological superiority. DOTC is sponsored by the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) and is utilized by all Services and Defense Agencies to design, develop and demonstrate prototypes for armaments. NAC is the largest collaborative organization working with the DoD to develop armament technologies in support of our nation’s security.

The NAC is comprised of our nation’s leading technologists, engineers, designers, scientists, manufacturers, and program managers across industry, academia and our nation’s laboratories, all with the mission to develop armaments that give the U.S. a technological edge over our enemies. Together, DOTC offers government customers a better way of doing business through streamlined acquisition and collaboration across a broad spectrum of industrial and academic partners.
