WE ARE PROUD TO BE PART OF THE HEDGE Strategy

  The DTIP (Defense Technology Innovation Program) is a public-private partnership established by Marcantonio Global, working in collaboration with the US Department of Defense. The program aims to scout for innovative and revolutionary technologies that have military applications for the United States. The program includes initiatives such as the Future Innovation and Technology Forum, which provides a virtual platform for leaders in the defense, federal and intelligence communities to collaborate and develop solutions to complex challenges facing national security. The DTIP focuses on solving specific national security problems by fostering collaboration and input from a network of over 5000 leaders from the Department of Defense, Federal agencies, Intelligence Community, and allied nations. 

Marcantonio Global has been working with over 135 and growing Defense Department programs, led by OSD Policy Executive Secretariat and with the Intelligence Community bringing dozens of technologies from around the world for virtual OSD Policy DTIP Future Innovation Forum and in-person presentations, demonstrations, and rapid capability assessments for consideration by 1000+ senior decision makers in the Pentagon, DHS, the White House, the Intelligence Community, and strategic US allies. 

1. Experience: Mr. Nino "Typhoon" Marcantonio has over 15 years of experience in the U.S. Federal, Defense, and Homeland Security mission space, having worked with various organizations such as the Department of Veterans Affairs, the Department of Transportation, Federal Railway Administration, Office of Safety, to the Department of Homeland Security, FEMA, to the Security Exchange Commission. This experience gives Nino a deep understanding of the inner workings of the Department of Defense and how to navigate it effectively.
2. Connections: Nino has leveraged public and private partnerships with the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Policy, Executive Secretariat, through his company Marcantonio Global. These connections give him access to key decision-makers within the Department of Defense, which can help your startup business gain visibility and credibility.
3. Knowledge of the Defense Innovation Ecosystem: Nino has an impressiive track record in helping small defense industrial businesses access various innovation ecosystems within the Department of Defense (DoD), Federal government, intelligence agencies, and allies. He understands the rapidly evolving landscape of defense innovation and the vast ecosystem, and can provide valuable guidance to your startup business.
4. Human-centered Design: Nino has experience using human-centered design and rapid team prototyping to bring innovation to government.

Field propulsion Technologies are developing composite materials (2021 NSF Phase I, 2019 DARPA, and 2017 JANNAF awards) that use an electric current to eliminate friction heating and plasma generation between the atmosphere and a reentry vehicle when it is going through reentry. This same technology can also eliminate frictional heating and plasma generation from the leading edges of a hypersonic vehicle. This technology uses the longitudinal forces in a composite to force the atmosphere off the surface of the composite using the energy of an electric current element. 

We believe this technology could transform the hypersonic vehicle into a silent, unobservable vehicle with almost unlimited velocity potential. Along with solving the heat problem that today's engineers are trying to solve.at's a product or service you'd like to show.
