Strategic Partnering
Building Partnerships That Strengthen Mission Success
At DCS, we believe strong partnerships drive mission success. We collaborate with industry, government, and trusted suppliers to combine expertise, accelerate innovation, and deliver mission-ready solutions that address complex challenges and strengthen national security.
Our Partnership Network
Connecting expertise, capabilities, and opportunities for collaboration.
DCS is active in government‑led consortiums and seeks meaningful partnerships with both government and industry to accelerate mission success. By engaging across these networks, we help shape requirements, contribute technical expertise, and identify innovative, achievable solutions. Our approach emphasizes responsiveness, transparency, and shared mission outcomes, ensuring DCS and its partners deliver high‑value capabilities that meet evolving government needs.
DCS manages and operates specialized research and testing facilities that provide unique system and subsystem‑level evaluation capabilities not available in industry. These facilities support testing of life‑support and aircrew oxygen systems, biodynamic and biomechanical responses, and military subsystems including sensors, avionics, datalinks, guidance and control, turbine‑engine technologies, and advanced instrumentation. They enable laboratory, ground, and flight testing across aircraft, missile, and unmanned platforms. Through Cooperative Research and Development Agreements (CRADAs) and Commercial Test Agreements, industry and partners can access these government‑owned capabilities, including the AFRL Biodynamics Facility, AFLCMC LSS‑STAQ Lab, and AFRL Compressor Research Facility.
