The US DoD are urging current and newcomer Australian defence or homeland security-based businesses to apply for the commercial opportunities set for the 2018 financial year.

CTSSO and TSWG identify, prioritise and co-ordinate interagency and international research and development (R&D) requirements for combating terrorism.

==============

The TSWG rapidly develops technologies and equipment to meet the high-priority needs of the combating terrorism community, and addresses joint international operational requirements through co-operative R&D with major allies.

The two groups released their 2018 Draft Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) in November 2016, and are expected to release a formal version this month.

Australian businesses interested in participating in phase 1 are being asked to submit a relevant quad chart responding to the outlined requirements in the BAA (click here to see the draft BAA).
