    Defense Innovation OnRamp Hub Interest Form

  • The OnRamp Hub program is a network of open front doors to quickly identify and evaluate commercial technologies for warfighter needs. Individual OnRamp Hubs serve as centers of gravity within their regions facilitating interactions between the DoW, industry, and academia that result in rapid advances in military capability. The Hubs focus on three major lines of efforts:


    • Synchronize warfighter needs with commercial capabilities
    • Lower barriers to entry: new pathways to speed and scale:
    • Catalyze a unified innovation ecosystem

  • Tell us about yourself

  • Tell us about your company

  • TRL 1 – Basic principles observed and reported. Lowest level of technology readiness. Scientific research begins to be translated into applied research and development.

    TRL 2 – Technology concept and/or application formulated. Once basic principles are observed, practical applications can be invented and R&D started. Applications are speculative and may be unproven.

    TRL 3 – Analytical and experimental critical function and/or characteristic proof-of-concept. Active research and development is initiated, including analytical / laboratory studies to validate predictions regarding the technology.

    TRL 4 – Component and/or breadboard validation in laboratory environment. Basic technological components are integrated to establish that they will work together.

    TRL 5 – Component and/or breadboard validation in relevant environment. The basic technological components are integrated with reasonably realistic supporting elements so it can be tested in a simulated environment.

    TRL 6 – System/subsystem model or prototype demonstration in a relevant environment. A representative model or prototype system is tested in a relevant environment.

    TRL 7 – System prototype demonstration in relevant environment. A prototype system that is near, or at, the planned operational system.

    TRL 8 – Actual system completed and “qualified” through test and demonstration. In an actual system, the technology has been proven to work in its final form and under expected conditions.

    TRL 9 – Actual system “proven” through successful mission operations. The system incorporating the new technology in its final form has been used under actual mission conditions.
