The U.S. Army is seeking innovative technology solutions from eligible small businesses across the U.S. through the Expeditionary Technology Search (xTechSearch) competition. This platform offers participants the opportunity to pitch novel technology solutions—whether a new application for an existing technology or an entirely new technology concept—to the Army, engage with the Department of Defense (DoD), earn prize money, join an accelerator program, and winners will have the opportunity to submit a Phase I Army Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) proposal.
Phase I
Is the opportunity to establish the scientific, technical, commercial merit and feasibility of your proposed innovation.
Predictive Simulation of Injury Progression
This topic seeks to explore technologies that can enable dynamic representations of combat-related injuries, as well as the internal processes that take place over time as the injury changes due to treatment. The goal is to provide medics with a deeper understanding of how various treatment decisions impact long-term injury recovery.

Autonomous Robotic Bridging
This topic seeks to develop autonomous drone swarm capability for watercraft operated in a riverine environment. The fielding of autonomous powered floating bridges will enable the Army to conduct unpredictable dispersed river crossings, increase crew survivability by removing the man from the craft, and reduce logistics footprint over the Improved Ribbon Bridge in use today by combining both payload capacity and powertrain into a single craft. The development of an autonomy package for multiple dispersed floating bays to interact separately and jointly is the key technology to bring this capability to the 2040 battlespace.
