Recently, Vigilant applied for and was accepted into a position on SPAWAR’s new IWRP Consortium. IWRP, which stands for “Information Warfare Research Projects” is a special group of innovators that will begin taking on a long list of SPAWAR’s research and development in a number of areas of need.

On Sept. 7, 2018, Vigilant was accepted by the FAA as a vendor company for the current eFAST MOA (the FAA’s preferred contracting vehicle for small businesses). eFAST streamlines the procurement process between the FAA and small business service providers by using a web-based acquisition tool and automated workflows compliant with FAA standards.

In the first week of September 2018, Vigilant engaged with the AFRL in New Mexico to become part of their new accelerator program, Hyperspace Challenge. Vigilant’s bid to be accepted into the accelerator was approved on September 4, 2018, and we are excited to be able to aim our innovations at the problem statements that are currently being generated by the Air Force’s innovation sponsors! You can get lots more detail about the Hyperspace Challenge accelerator at their website, http://hyperspacechallenge.com/.
