We Are — The War Department's Innovation Unit

10x

The 10x portfolio is built on speed, radical cost reduction, and scaling production. We seek game-changing improvements in capability through focused projects that deliver on accelerated timelines, as well as step-change investments that produce overmatch. The objective is an order of magnitude — capability, cost, and timeline gains compound into decisive impact. Cost reduction is deliberate — flagship programs collapse per-unit cost to free acquisition budget, enable larger buys, and reduce or eliminate the need for exquisite assets . The standard is decisive lethality advantage.

High Volume. Low Cost. Max Lethality.

The areas we focus:
Sustainment
Force Resilience
Scaled Combat Power
Future Warfighter
Portfolio Leadership

We bring experience from both the commercial sector and the joint force.
