The Aviation Innovation Center (AIC) aims to create an Army Aviation ecosystem that opens up or provides assistance for the development and integration of innovative, software-enabled solutions that advance combat capability.

The AIC will greatly support the Army’s effort to identify, evaluate, and perform technical risk reduction for innovative technology, serving as a hub where innovative technology and concepts can rapidly be demonstrated, evaluated, and selected for system integration.
 

The AIC will provide early-stage technology companies an environment where they can demonstrate capabilities without the Army having to make a material financial and resource commitment.
