WHO WE ARE

ASA(ALT) invites innovators to help shape the future of our early-stage reference architectures. Acknowledging the intrinsic nature of our evolving frameworks – they are architectures, not products – our Innovation Exchange Lab (IXL) serves as a hub for collaboration, experimentation, and excellence. Together, we can accelerate the development of the best solutions to support the Army’s mission. Join us in shaping tomorrow’s Army through the power of experimentation. 

Access IXL from Anywhere

IXL operates as a cloud-based experimentation platform, hosting evolving reference implementations of maturing Army reference architectures. Serving as a practical baseline in agile methodology, the reference implementation and industry-focused experimentation provides a concrete foundation for iterative development. This approach promotes a unified understanding and enhances collaboration across diverse stakeholder groups. It streamlines development for industry partners, offers baseline validation, ensures interoperability, and fosters a clearer, more comprehensive understanding within the community. The first opportunity to engage with us is the Implementation of the Unified Data Reference Architecture (UDRA) 1.0.

Focusing On UNDERSTANDING

We are constantly working to communicate and maintain as much transparency with Industry and Academia as possible. We aim to leverage the IXL to help increase understanding of our architectures and frameworks. Through a hands-on approach, registrants can better identify where their solutions align with our design needs and where they may not, allowing them to make better informed decisions.

UNDERSTANDING

What’s In it for You?

Registration within the IXL is not a contract award. It is an opportunity for innovators like you to gain a better understanding of the U.S. Army designs and make informed decisions about your solutions’ alignment. 

Insight into Future Architectures:

Participants gain deeper knowledge of upcoming Army data architecture directions and requirements.
This insight enables them to rapidly and iteratively develop more effective solutions that align with Army needs.

Cost-Free Access

Industry partners can experiment in our cloud-based environment without incurring any expenses, offering a financially accessible opportunity for innovation and development.

Open to All Innovators

We welcome a diverse range of innovators, not limited to those within DoD. This inclusive approach broadens the scope of creativity and technological advancement.

Remote, Convenient Access

Our platform is accessible remotely through commercial internet, allowing innovators from anywhere to engage with our ecosystem conveniently and efficiently.

Reduced Technology Debt

Early involvement in our experimental environment allows industry partners to adapt and learn alongside us, potentially reducing technology debt and saving costs in the long run by staying ahead of evolving trends and requirements.
