During the week of 24-28 March 2025, the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL), on behalf of the U.S. Department of defense (DoD) Space Community of Interest (COI), will host a virtual technology interchange meeting (TIM) with industry partners invested in space-related technologies. This invitation is open to all domestic (United States) partners with IR&D and other corporate investments in science and technology, including large and small businesses, academia, national labs, and federally funded R&D centers (FFRDCs) with a current certified DD Form 2345 (Military Critical Technical Data Agreement).

The intent of this virtual engagement is to give industry/corporate partners an opportunity to provide government subject matter experts from varying backgrounds in space — space domain awareness; space-based sensing; space access, mobility, and logistics; space spectrum warfare, space superiority, etc., — insight into their relevant IR&D investment projects. Additional objectives of this technology exchange include increasing awareness, opening collaboration opportunities, and seeking alignment between industry’s IR&D investments and U.S. Space Force high-priority science and technology needs and to inform DoD-relevant research and development (R&D), acquisition, and sustainment roadmaps.
