Cmdr. Tim Gorman told C4ISRNET in an Oct. 3 email. \u201cThe program expects to issue its first licenses in 2024.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Pentagon and SBA <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sba.gov\/article\/2022\/dec\/03\/biden-harris-administration-announces-groundbreaking-joint-initiative-drive-investment-entrepreneurs\" target=\"_blank\">announced the partnership last December<\/a> and have been working to flesh out the details since then.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The effort is focused on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/battlefield-tech\/2022\/02\/02\/new-strategy-will-harness-emerging-tech-to-beat-adversaries\/\" target=\"_blank\">14 emerging technologies<\/a> the department has identified as critical to national security, which includes areas like AI, space, quantum, integrated networks and advanced materials. By partnering with the Small Business Administration, the Pentagon hopes to take advantage of the organization\u2019s experience directing venture capital funding toward high-need areas, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said in a Sept. 29 statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cTo maintain our competitive advantage, the United States must continue to harness its unmatched strengths \u2014 its private capital markets, national security supplier base, and vibrant technological ecosystem,\u201d Austin said. \u201cIn alignment with the National Defense Strategy, the SBICCT Initiative will further enable DoD to work with both government and the private sector to build enduring advantages for the warfighter and for the taxpayer.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sba.gov\/document\/policy-guidance-investment-policy-statement-small-business-investment-company-critical-technology-initiative\" target=\"_blank\"> lending tools like SBICCT <\/a>are new to Pentagon, federal agencies like the Commerce Department and the Energy Department have a long history of using credit programs to support key industries like microelectronics and renewable energy. According to OSC Director Jason Rathje, loan agreements can be more efficient than traditional DoD spending practices because they assume a return on investment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cLoans as a tool are extremely efficient,\u201d Rathje said Sept. 6 at the Defense News conference in Arlington, Virginia. \u201cIf you think about the defense budget . . . we say investment, but we spend money. There\u2019s no expectation that money is going to come back to the U.S. government or back to the DoD. But loan programs are different.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As OSC moves forward with the SBICCT effort, it\u2019s evaluating which of the department\u2019s critical technologies might benefit the most from a loan guarantee effort. Rathje said areas like AI, autonomy and microelectronics that have a broader commercial ecosystem are high on the list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe\u2019re looking at key industries . . . we\u2019re looking at capital availability, we\u2019re seeing where can OSC tools make a difference in increasing funding to companies that are developing technologies,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That work will also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/battlefield-tech\/2023\/09\/06\/pentagons-strategic-capital-office-finalizing-investment-framework\/\" target=\"_blank\">inform a broader OSC investment strategy<\/a>, which Rathje said will be finalized in the coming months. Once completed, the office\u2019s strategic advisory council \u2014 co-chaired by the undersecretaries of research and engineering and acquisition and sustainment \u2014 will consider how those technologies are being integrated into other DoD planning processes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Pentagon and the Small Business Administration announced the partnership
