NSWC Crane Technology Transfer director Jenna Dix said: “This is an exciting opportunity for Crane. The entrepreneurs participating are experienced and highly motivated and the Crane inventors of the technologies are eager to assist.”

“By participating in the DIA programme, we’re increasing the likelihood that technologies sitting on our shelves make it into the hands of the warfighter, while at the same time, supporting the US economic base by working with entrepreneurs to bring this same tech into the commercial marketplace.”

Last year, researchers at the NSWC Crane and Naval Information Warfare Center (NIWC) Atlantic used computer science methods in the High Assurance Interface Protocols (HAIP) project to make navy systems more secure.
