The project will be used to further develop and expand Proto’s footprint in the defense sector. The relevant controlled goods certifications and cyber security procedures will be put in place to ensure data integrity and confidentiality are maintained. A significant effort will also be required from a marketing standpoint so that stakeholders in the various defense related industries are aware of Proto’s capabilities as well as the value these provide as applied to their specific issues. The project will also support research in already identified (currently unfunded) efforts so that technical solutions can be developed and integrated into the defense procurement supply chain.
