The Midwest Tech Bridge encompasses a vibrant innovation ecosystem already aligned to Navy and Marine Corps interests. Located on the world’s third largest Naval installation in Crane, Indiana, the Naval Surface Warfare Center Crane Division (NSWC Crane) anchors the Midwest Tech Bridge through broad collaborative partnerships in the Command’s mission sets of Strategic Missions, Electronic Warfare, and Expeditionary Warfare that are serving to accelerate the development and transition of technology to Department of Defense (DoD) end users.

The Midwest Tech Bridge resides at the crossroads of not only Navy and Marine Corps mission sets, but connects the nearby Air Force and Army Research Laboratories as well. The Indiana Innovation Institute (IN3) serves as our Partnership Intermediary Agreement for this effort, and we look forward to building the tech bridge to gain broader access and leverage efforts across the region.
