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.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the development of innovative technology within the US military, particularly the role of small businesses and entrepreneurs. The author, a congressman with decades of experience on the House Armed Services Committee, examines the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program and concludes that it has been vital for the development of cutting-edge technologies. The book argues that small, innovative companies often produce superior products at lower costs and with greater agility than larger, established companies. The author also highlights the challenges faced by small businesses in navigating the complex defense procurement system and proposes several reforms to make it more accessible and equitable. Ultimately, this book sheds light on the importance of supporting small businesses in the defense sector and provides valuable insights for policymakers, industry leaders, and anyone interested in the future of military technology.
