Strengthening National Defense Through Strategic Partnerships
ATEC welcomes collaboration with industry, academia, and other organizations to advance test and evaluation technologies, strengthen national defense, and expand opportunities for innovation. Through access to our ranges for internal research and development, and formal partnerships, we work with partners to solve complex challenges, share expertise, and accelerate the development of new capabilities.
Why Partner with ATEC?
Partnerships support innovation across the test and evaluation enterprise. They allow collaborators to access ATEC’s specialized ranges, laboratories, instrumentation, and technical expertise; strengthen intellectual property protection; and help close gaps in T&E processes, infrastructure, and emerging technology areas. Together, we can advance solutions that enhance both Army readiness and the broader research and technology ecosystem.
Partnership Opportunities

ATEC’s national test ranges, which are national assets, are available for use by external organizations to support your internal research, development, test, and evaluation activities. This is a unique opportunity to rapidly access and leverage assets, capabilities, and environments that are not available anywhere else in the world, enabling comprehensive and realistic experimentation, research, and testing of your systems and technologies.
