G-Form secured its first Other Transaction Authority Agreement for Prototype (OTAp) with the U.S. Army Development Command, Soldier Center (DEVCOM SC). DEVCOM SC is a tenant unit of the U.S. Army Natick Soldier Systems Center that creates, integrates and provides technology-enabled solutions for soldiers.
The G-Form OTAp is for the research and development of a prototype to protect soldiers using its proprietary SmartFlex technology in developing improved shock-attenuation products for knees, elbows and head protection.
“Innovation is essential in how we develop and build advanced protection products, and we are excited to redefine the future of impact protection solutions for our warfighters, together with our partners at DEVCOM,” stated Glen Giovanucci, G-Form’s CEO. “This work directly supports our American manufacturing capabilities and helps to ensure that the domestic industrial base remains fully capable of supporting the needs of the Armed Services.”
“I am committed to helping local companies compete and do business with the U.S. Department of Defense. The men and women of G-Form produce and develop a range of advanced protection products for our troops in the field and contribute to national defense. I am proud to see them recognized with this OTAp. It will keep more Rhode Islanders employed making cutting-edge protection gear for our troops,” said Senator Reed, the Chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee.
