Your Research Can Help Advance the Nations Most Vital Technology Projects

With limited resources or defense contracting experience, there are many roadblocks for academic or research focused institutions to enter the defense market and find funding for their research.

The S2MARTS Research OTA was designed to open the door for innovators like you to apply your groundbreaking research in support of the nations most vital technology focus areas including microelectronics, hypersonics, radio frequency (RF), and more.

What is an OTA?

Other Transaction Authorities (OTAs) are run by organizations like NSTXL who release opportunities to their membership communities on behalf of the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD). Designed as an alternative to traditional contracting vehicles, OTAs help fast-track research initiatives.

NSTXL's opportunity pipeline is rapidly expanding. In the last year, our members were awarded 48 contracts worth a potential of $559 million and submitted solutions across more than 64 technology areas including Microelectronics, 5G, Hypersonics, and more.
