Excerpt from Small Business Innovation Research Program and the Development of Innovative Technology: Before the Tactical Air and Land Forces Subcommittee of the Committee on Armed Services House of Representatives, One Hundred Eighth Congress, Second Session, Hearing Held, July 21, 2004

The subcommittee met, pursuant to call, at 3:05 p.m., in room 2118, Rayburn House Office Building, Hon. Curt Weldon (chairman of the subcommittee) presiding.

Opening Statement Of Hon. Curt Weldon, A Represent-Ative From Pennsylvania, Chairman, Tactical Air And Land Forces Subcommittee

Mr. Weldon [presiding]. The hearing will come to order. This morning, the Tactical Air and Land Forces Subcommittee will receive testimony from a series of small, innovative U.S. companies that are developing leading-edge technologies and proposing military applications of those technologies that address a variety of defense modernization needs.

The work of these companies will demonstrate to Members of the subcommittee and the American people that small businesses are capable of producing vital defense products rapidly, at potentially lower costs and, in some cases, providing new capabilities. We tend to focus on the big companies here; today, we focus on the small companies. In the new defense era, it has become imperative that small, innovative companies are afforded adequate opportunity to make their innovations available to the defense acquisition system.

The Department of Defense (DOD), in light of the events of September 11, 2001, has elevated efforts to transform our armed services to meet the Nations needs in the century ahead. Many have concluded this transformation will depend, in large part, on making better use of innovative technologies being generated throughout the private sector, including both defense and non-defense companies.

Meanwhile, the defense industry has experienced its own transformation over the last decade, and one of the unfortunate consequences of the numerous mergers and consolidations is the continued consolidation and disturbing shrinkage of the innovative research and development base within those remaining companies.

Our witnesses today will demonstrate that small companies are often capable of producing leading-edge technologies that offer great advantages for defense programs.
