Defense Contractor Innovation Trends - Feb 12, 2018
This new report from Vector Analytics provides defense contractors with an assessment of how well their innovation and patenting strategy matches the US Department of Defense’s 5-year Research and Development plan. And it provides that assessment of your competitors as well.
Defense contractors can use this insight to realign their R&D strategies with the DOD’s objectives, optimize their technology development investments, and understand if their competitors are out-investing them in key DOD research areas.
We utilize natural language processing techniques and machine learning models to distill R&D topics from the FY19 RDT&E budget request. We then search for those R&D topics in the patent portfolios of leading defense contractors.
