Defense Innovation Unit (DIU)

Geospatial Research Laboratory CSO
The U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) Geospatial Research Laboratory announces a Commercial Solutions Opening (CSO) which aims to find technology that pioneers geospatial solutions for the Warfighter. This CSO contains broadly defined areas of interest that align with the lab’s mission to expand innovative geospatial solutions. While some of these areas of interest are geared toward meeting individual program requirements, the Government reserves the right to award contracts from this CSO to meet requirements of ERDC’s Geospatial Research Laboratory (GRL) at other locations with similar mission focus areas.
The CSO Solicitation document provides additional details and instructions.

Project Praxium: Classroom of the Future (AE)
The Air University Innovation Accelerator (AUiX) Office, through its Partnership Intermediary Agreement with MGMWERX, is seeking potential offeror submissions to survey, design, build, and install a classroom of the future!
Air University (AUiX), in collaboration with MGMWERX, seeks to pilot a collaborative and immersive learning environment at MGMWERX, Montgomery, AL, for use by Air University, the local public school system, and local colleges and universities – Project Praxium: Classroom of the Future (PPCotF). This initiative produces a model 21st century classroom as a prototype that may be implemented nation-wide between Air Force installations and their partner local communities based on the teaching and learning needs of the different schools. For Air University and its host city and partners, this initiative offers many opportunities in the areas of:
- Leveraging stakeholder diversity towards capturing holistic learning requirements
- Offering novel and relevant ways of learning through collaboration
- Utilization and demonstration of new learning technologies and methods
- Demonstrating multi-faceted and immersive collaborative learning environment methods (e.g., AR/VR, simulators, modeling & simulation, etc.)
