The US Navy has turned to Montana State University and Bozeman’s S2 corporation to help design new technology for diagnosing and detecting potential threats across the world.
The Navy has given MSU’s Spectrum Lab and S2 Corporation a $4.5 million contract to develop new sensors to improve the Navy’s intelligence and awareness. The university and corporation were chosen based on their marked improvement over current technology. According to the CEO of S2 corporation, current sensors see only about 1 percent of a possible spectrum whereas technology they have developed in Bozeman sees more than 100 times that.
The Navy has given S2 and Montana State a 3-year contract, which will provide additional stability for Bozeman’s burgeoning high tech industry. Bozeman, Montana's e-city according to Google, has seen a major expansion by Oracle and NASA funded tech programs in 2016 alone. This news, continues to add to Bozeman's recent stockpile of tech news.
These groups have the opportunity to invent new technology in Bozeman that will be deployed into real world practice. This contract will only improve Bozeman’s reputation as a center for technology in Montana. The contract will also provide additional capital for MSU and S2 to hire additional high income employees.
Bozeman continues to attract more specialized, high salary jobs. Bozeman’s economy continues its forward momentum as more high tech professionals continue to make their home in Bozeman.
