COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — On a clear morning at the foot of the Rocky Mountains, Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRI) engineers, scientists, and staff along with members of Colorado's congressional delegation gathered to cut the ribbon on a facility built for a single purpose: to let the nation's top technologists and its newest military branch solve hard problems in the same room.
 

The GTRI field office, which includes a new large secure classified workspace, will house GTRI engineers and scientists working shoulder to shoulder with U.S. Space Force teams. The Colorado Springs Field Office currently has forty GTRI personnel on staff.  The arrangement reflects a growing conviction inside the defense community that the pace of modern threats requires a closer, faster collaboration between researchers and the warfighters they support. 
 

“We won’t have to go through layers of translation because the government people with technology needs will be sitting next to the GTRI engineers offering solutions. It makes for a very close interaction that we expect to continue for many years to come” said John Bunnell, GTRI’s Director of Space Program Development.
