Helping Companies Win Government Grants and Contracts
The ERIS Marketplace requires participating organizations to submit capability demonstrations as a seven-minute video to help DoW buyers evaluate proposed solutions. Technical solutions that have taken years to design must be understood in minutes. A capability that cannot be understood quickly is unlikely to advance through acquisition pathways, regardless of its technical merit.
DoW’s interest in specific new Topic Areas is both growing and accelerating. Companies that want to move quickly and outcompete others to take advantage of these opportunities must translate complex technical capabilities into visual demonstrations that communicate mechanism, function, and operational relevance within the constraints of rapid acquisition timelines.
The Acquisition Environment
"Today, the risk of moving too slow is far greater than any risk associated with rapid change. We must evolve. We must take risks. We must solve problems." — Gen. Bernard Schriever
The acquisition community operates under well-documented pressure to accelerate capability delivery. China's advancement in counter-space weapons and other domains is occurring at "breathtaking speed," creating what Gen. Stephen Whiting, Commander of U.S. Space Command, has described as "a window of vulnerability."
The DoW is streamlining grants and acquisitions. For acquisition professionals, this environment demands quickly finding and evaluating solutions that address Topic Areas of interest yet evaluating them correctly. Programs funded today must deliver. Technologies that fail to transition from prototype to operational capability are not only wasted investment but strategic risk.
For private companies, a major factor early in the process is presenting in minutes what took years to design and build. Technical complexity makes it difficult to convey capability to non-technical stakeholders whose approval and funding are required for advancement. California Technical Media addresses this barrier directly.
