Marcantonio Global, The Catalyst Coalition, and Carahsoft Announce Successful Collaboration on c-UAS Solutions

Alexandria, VA, December 25, 2024 – Marcantonio Global (MG), The Catalyst Coalition (TCC), and Carahsoft Technology Corporation are thrilled to announce their successful partnership, which has led to the development of over a dozen integrated solutions in support of the National Armaments Directors Innovation Working Group.

This collaboration was initiated as part of Marcantonio Global membership inside the National Armaments Directors Innovation Working Group in September 2024, Fact Sheet on Efforts of Ukraine Defense Contact Group – National Armaments Directors > U.S. Department of Defense > Release, with a focus on identifying, evaluating, and presenting critical breakthrough technologies for the Department of Defense (DoD). The Defense Logistics Innovation Forum (DLIF), spearheaded by MG, has played a pivotal role in this endeavor.

The Innovation Forum provided a unique platform for government officials and private sector solution providers to connect and collaborate, enabling a rapid response to the need for counter-unmanned autonomous systems (c-UAS) solutions. Through this partnership, MG, TCC, and Carahsoft have successfully scouted, developed, and presented an integrated solution to the c-UAS mission challenge for the United States and allied nations.

"We are proud of the collaborative effort and the innovative solutions that have emerged from this partnership," said Nino "Typhoon" Marcantonio, Founder of Marcantonio Global. "This initiative underscores our commitment to strengthening national defense capabilities through disruptive technologies and strategic partnerships."

The Mission Problem Statement developed to guide this solution has been instrumental in aligning the efforts of all partners involved. The integrated solutions presented are expected to significantly enhance the capabilities of the DoD and allied nations in addressing the c-UAS mission challenge.
