TSI Small Business Success

Loretta Sanchez (CA-D) chaired a hearing within the HASC Emerging Threat subcommittee on small business access to DoD programs. Testifying was Dr. Lemnios, head of DDR&E, and Linda Oliver, head of ASD Small Business programs. TSI cited as an "Exemplar Small Business Success" with regards to our work with the Navy via the Office of the Sec of Defense. Specifically, Dr. Lemnios cited the following:

"Examples of unique ways in which the Department couples with the small business community on time-critical challenges include the Rapid Reaction Fund (RRF), the Quick Reaction Fund (QRF), the Defense Acquisition Challenge (DAC), the Open Business Cell (OBC) and the Defense Venture Catalyst Initiative (DeVenCI) program. The Department's RRF and QRF efforts focus on small business solutions for operational challenges. One example is the Augmented Reality Visualization of the Common Operating Picture (ARVCOP) project. This concept was funded through RRF and resulted in an augmented reality tactical display that allows sailors to visualize hazards, sea lanes, markers, etc., in reduced visibility." TSI was one of only two small businesses cited in Testimony.
