Focus Areas and Capabilities

Marshall has forged solid connections with innovative companies, laboratories, and academic institutes across the country and around the world. We enjoy responsive, mutually beneficial relationships with organizations in a broad range of scientific and technological fields. To support our mission, we are seeking to team with industry and other government agencies to ascertain areas of shared interests in product development and/or application. Briefing us on your capabilities will help us understand who you are, what you do and what products you offer that would be of mutual benefit. If you have a complementary area of technology or research to support Marshall’s missions and core capabilities, we look forward to hearing from you.
