Synchronized Persistent Army Experimentation (SPARX)

The US Army is seeking information from industry partners to participate in the Synchronized Persistent Army Experimentation (SPARX) process. SPARX is a collaborative process between industry partners and the Army that aims to enable collective innovation and identify novel technology capabilities to help the Army achieve its modernization goals. The process involves the submission of a SPARX Technology Overview document, which will be reviewed by Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) from across the Transformation and Training Command (T2COM). The SMEs will conduct an initial informal examination of the technology, and if aligned to an experimentation event, the technology submission will be forwarded to the event planners during the event open window. Some key points to consider: * The SPARX process is designed to synchronize and streamline the information process for industry to obtain information for Army experimentation events. * The process provides an avenue for industry partners to submit information regarding their technologies via a technology overview template. * The SMEs will conduct an initial informal examination of the technology, and if aligned to an experimentation event, the technology submission will be forwarded to the event planners during the event open window. * Events are not hosted by DEVCOM HQ, and if an industry partner attends such an event, they should expect further guidance from the event planner or host. * It is possible that further documentation (i.e., NDA, proof of liability insurance, etc.) may be required by the event host/planner.
