NSA OPS 1

NSA conducts one of the U.S. Government`s leading research and development (R&D) programs. Some of the Agency`s R&D projects have significantly advanced the state of the art in the scientific and business worlds.

This expo is supported by NSA`s Directorate of Acquisition’s Plans Policy and Outreach Office.

NSA created an Acquisition Organization - an organization focused on working closely with U.S. industry - to help integrate technology forecasts and assess the rate of market implementation. NSA continues to broaden collaborative partnerships with industry and academia to maximize the return from technology efforts. These partnerships enable NSA to stay on the cutting edge of technology while allowing them to focus attention on two core missions: Foreign Signals Intelligence and Information Assurance.
