The goal of this event is to showcase Government Furnished Capabilities (GFC) being offered to potential performers for IARPA’s SMART ePANTS program. This event is being hosted jointly by MIT Lincoln Laboratory (MITLL) and the Advanced Functional Fabrics of America (AFFOA) on July 20th, 2022 in Cambridge, MA, preceded by a networking event on the prior evening. This event will include a presentation by MITLL and AFFOA (in-person and virtual) that will describe the various aspects of GFC that are available. Additionally, there will be in-person only aspects of the meeting, including hand-on demonstrations of fibers and fabrics, tours of the AFFOA facility, and 1:1 meetings with the AFFOA GFC and Testing & Evaluation (T&E) team. Finally, a teaming session will be provided where potential performers have the option of presenting a poster to facilitate discussions with other potential performers.
