Capitalizing on IP & Government Collaboration. CommNexus. Commercial technologies frequently foster military advances, and commercial systems are increasingly incorporated into defense applications. Many military operations now depend substantially on commercial telecommunications. Indeed, the development of telecommunications systems for the military is now like development of other weapon systems. Increasingly, companies from the commercial telecommunications industry work with the government or with established defense contractors to develop the military telecommunications systems of the future. Likewise, established defense contractors seek to commercialize technologies they developed for the government. See http://www.commnexus.org/programs/special-interest-groups/event_20110706.php |
