From under the earth to beyond the moon, our warfighters will have technological superiority. PROJECT MERIDIAN: THE FUTURE OF WARFARE 🇺🇸

The American warfighter will stay lethal. Carry on, patriots. 🇺🇸

Today, the @DeptofWar announced $150 million in awards for defense-related research projects as part of the Multidisciplinary University Research Initiative (MURI). These awards, which average $7.5 million over five years, will support 20 teams at 50+ U.S. academic institutions, subject to satisfactory research progress and the availability of funds. The highly competitive program, which complements the Department's single-investigator basic research grants, has contributed to current and future military capabilities for the warfighter and produced numerous commercial-sector applications.

America is going to win. 🇺🇸

FOR THE AMERICAN SOLDIER—ALWAYS! 🇺🇸

Any narco terrorist drone that attempts to invade American skies will be completely DESTROYED. DEFEND THE HOMELAND 🇺🇸

America will not relent until the enemy is totally and decisively defeated. 🇺🇸

The fight of 2040 is being shaped TODAY. This week, the disruptive minds of Project Meridian gathered at the @USNavy’s Maritime Big Play in San Diego, receiving briefings from @DeptofWar leaders and participating in intensive working sessions. Together, they challenged conventional thinking and explored how emerging technologies and evolving warfighting domains will transform the future battlefield. @SecWar’s 120-day sprint mandate is driving bold thinking about the future of combat and the capabilities needed to DOMINATE in next generation conflicts, ensuring America’s Joint Force maintains its decisive warfighting advantage.

.@DoWCTO and the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Mission Capabilities are proud to host the MEIA Research Center & Academia Exchange (RC&AE)—bringing together leaders from academia, research centers, and the @DeptofWar innovation enterprise to strengthen collaboration on the challenges facing our warfighters. The RC&AE is an opportunity to: • Connect research talent with national security mission needs • Accelerate pathways from discovery to operational impact • Exchange ideas across disciplines, institutions, and the defense innovation ecosystem • Build enduring partnerships that help sustain the United States’ technological advantage If you are part of an FFRDC, UARC, National Laboratory, or academic institution advancing consequential science, technology, engineering, or workforce development, the RC&AE is where that work meets mission. Register before November 13th and help shape the technologies that will define tomorrow’s advantage.

Defending our nation against whatever threatens our shores, interests, and our people. 🇺🇸
