AUSTIN, TX — Last month five small businesses were selected as winners of xTech|Inversion, advancing an Army effort that opened government-developed intellectual property to commercial innovators and challenged industry to find new ways to turn that technology into viable capabilities.

Army Soldiers and researchers are transforming how Soldier-driven innovations are discovered, matured and quickly scaled from traditional acquisition pathways through a newly established LTG James M. Gavin Joint Innovation Outpost, or JIOP.
The Army FUZE Small Business Innovation Research and Small Business Technology Transfer (SBIR|STTR) Program has released its Fiscal Year (FY) 2025 Performance Report, highlighting a landmark year of getting mission-ready technology into the hands of Soldiers faster than ever.

When an Army commander needs a warfighting capability, he or she now has a place to go to get it fast.
They just have to ask the Global Tactical Edge Acquisition Directorate (G-TEAD). Launched officially in November, G-TEAD’s mission is to fill technology gaps based on soldiers’ needs and therefore relieving commanders of the challenges of the acquisition and funding processes.

Cannon engineers here used literal cutting-edge technology to cut rifled grooves in the bore of a 155mm M284 cannon barrel, leaving barrel conditions optimal for achieving a long-desired goal: bonding protective coatings to the hard steel.

The future of warfare is defined by speed—speed in decision-making, rapid adaptation, and most critically, delivering capability to Soldiers when they need it. As the Army continues to modernize, this driving principle remains clear: We cannot afford delays when lives are on the line. The Army must be strategically equipped at the “speed of relevance,” ready to outmaneuver adversaries in tomorrow’s combat environment.
Modernization is no longer defined by how quickly an idea is conceived, but by how rapidly and effectively it is delivered to Soldiers in operational environments. As mission demands evolve and technology advances at an unprecedented speed, the Army must bridge the gap between innovation and impact. The Pathway for Innovation and Technology (PIT) Office was established to do exactly that—serving as the forward edge of the Assistant Secretary of the Army for Acquisition, Logistics and Technology (ASA(ALT)) by embedding innovation with operational units, accelerating the transition of emerging capabilities and creating a disciplined, Soldier‑driven pathway from concept to scale across the force.
