JUNE UPDATE
Developing Agility
Corporate Partnerships are about delivering capability to the Department of Defense. Our corporate partners bring subject matter expertise, access to advanced technology, and other resources. Through the mid-career students and the experienced faculty at the Naval Postgraduate School, corporate partners gain invaluable insights into what works as well as what does not work. Through partnerships with the best-in-class companies, NPS raises its profile as a place to engage in ready, relevant work for the benefit of the DOD.
Looking forward, we will continue to support and expand the partnerships with Microsoft and Xerox as we engage with HII, Lockheed Martin, L3Harris, Anduril and Rebellion Defense to drive the adoption of critical capabilities for the DOD. NPS is developing concepts for student project teams that leverage interdisciplinary capstone projects to help the DOD and industry cross the tech transition “valley of death," bringing new agility to the acquisition process. Whenever the operationally-experienced students and defense-focused faculty work with a corporate partner to support a DOD sponsor, all sides learn, adapt and grow faster and in ways it is hard to anticipate.
