What is NavalX?

4

NavalX serves as the Department of Navy (DON) workforce "super-connector," focused on scaling non-traditional agility methods across the DON workforce. Our Naval culture of decentralized autonomy has been described as an innovation landscape marked by isolated and short-lived bursts of success.

The approach is to connect to these isolated pockets of excellence to capture and scale the methodologies being employed, increasing awareness of cross-Department of Defense (DoD) and external successes, lessons learned, and subject matter experts.

NavalX was formally announced in February 2019, as a direct-report initiative under the Assistant Secretary of the Navy for Research, Development, and Acquisition (ASN RDA).

Fast Facts

• A Department of Defense office comprised of civilians, military, and contractor personnel;

• Formed in October 2016 as the MD5 National Security Technology Accelerator;

• Currently report through the Defense Innovation Unit (DIU) to the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering;

• In partnership with 36 top-tier universities and five commercial incubators and accelerators

Our Customers: We Help Solve Their Problems

• Major Commands within the Army, Air Force, Navy, and Marine Corps

• Combatant Commands • Tactical Units in each Military Service • Joint Staff • Office of the Secretary of Defense• DoD Field Agencies and Defense Activities • DoD Labs

WE BUILD NETWORKS OF INNOVATORS TO GENERATE NEW SOLUTIONS FOR

NATIONAL SECURITY PROBLEMS

Mission and Theory of the Case:

• DoD’s current model for problem-solving is expensive, slow, and inefficient;

• The new complexity of problems the DoD faces, and the speed at which solutions are required, means that new problem-solvers must be introduced into the system;

• Adding the intellectual diversity from non-traditional solution providers (i.e., the academic and early-stage venture communities) is a necessary step to solving problems cheaper, faster, and better;

• A network approach enables persistent problem-solving capability for the Department of Defense that helps bridge the civil-military divide and improve outcomes for Service Members

We’re Building A Network of National Security Problem-Solving Communities

How We Partner with Diverse Pools of Talent to Help Solve DoD Problems Faster, Better, and Cheaper

What We Do to Accomplish Our Mission: Our Work

We...

Create New Opportunities for National Security Service by:

• Building models of service that account for generational and cultural differences between the military, academic, and

venture communities; and

• Providing flexible pathways to official service within the Department of Defense.

Solve National Security Problems by Collaborating with Partners from the Academic and Venture Communities by:

• Engaging new problem-solvers in collision events with DoD customers that generate novel concepts and solutions; and

• Building a national network of problem-solving ecosystems that leverage the competitive advantages of regions and

commercial innovation hubs for DoD customers.

Accelerate the Adoption of Novel Concepts and Solutions by:

• Facilitating engagement with DoD end users and transition partners to stimulate dual-use venture growth; and

• Improving Technology Transfer and Transition (T3) rates for DoD Lab technology through dual-use commercialization via

early-stage ventures.

• Arrhythmotech is pioneering new, noninvasive technology to simultaneously record and process both sympathetic nerve activity and electrocardiogram signals. Their work could help doctors better identify patients at risk of sudden fatal heart attacks, according to Dr. Peng-Sheng Chen, co-founder of the company.

• Ventures’ role has been to develop the electronics used to detect and process human nerve and heart impulses while isolating those impulses from other noises present in the human body.

• In July, the National Institutes of Health awarded Arrhythmotech a $1.47-million grant to begin testing their technology on volunteer human subjects.


Large-Scale, Adjustable, Delta 3D Printer

3D Platform

Project managers, technicians, and student interns raced to complete a large-scale 3D printer in just two months for 3D Platform. The printer was a highlight of the Top Shops exhibit at the International Manufacturing Technology Show in Chicago.


• Space-saving, lower-cost alternative to the pre-filled saline bottles.

• Studies show that wounds irrigated with common tap water heal just as well as those washed with saline, and at a significantly lower cost.

• Collapsible bottles weigh little and require minimal storage space in sharp contrast to storage and shipping costs for pre-filled saline bottles shipped to hospitals by the case.
