Bridging Innovation in Action
Since the inception of Bridging Innovation nearly ten years ago, the program has demonstrated continuous development through our team’s growth, increased sponsor engagement, and expanded reach from coast-to-coast.
Bridging Innovation is a corporate resource—set out to effectively build pathways for our staff, researchers, projects, and sponsors to innovation ecosystems across the United States. We are uniquely positioned to convene government, industry, and academia to collaborate on big societal challenges.
Spotlight on Andy Chapman: Leveraging Bridging Innovation

Accelerating the Readiness of Augmented and Virtual Reality for Mass Deployment
Emerging technologies that are unlike anything that came before, are often dismissed as a toy – a temporary novelty with high entertainment value for consumers, but with little practical business use. Very few examples fit that description better than Augmented and Virtual Reality (AR/VR). Through our work with our government sponsors, there are ample opportunities to apply AR/VR technology towards solving complex problems, and MITRE’s Bridging Innovation plays a key role expediting them.

Rethinking Topology Optimization through Iterative Design Cycles with Pareto
Designing and manufacturing parts with a straightforward goal, for instance, to be lightweight and provide the greatest strength with available materials at a reasonable cost can be a fairly uncomplicated endeavor. Add a goal of improved heat transfer in a multiple load scenario and the complexity of the manufacturing challenge grows enormously, with the ability to design and evaluate parts becoming time- and cost-prohibitive.
