San Diego DEFCOMM is a nonprofit Mutual Benefit Corporation organized under the California Nonprofit Mutual Benefit Corporation Law, led by a dynamic Board of Directors and Executive Staff.
Incorporated in 1997, our mission is to promote the growth and competitiveness of the San Diego Defense & Space Technology industry through the creation of innovative government-industry-academia alliances.
Our members range from individuals to start-up companies, small and medium sized defense contractors to multibillion dollar conglomerates, academia to economic development and members of the uniformed services.
Since our founding, we have successfully stood up our 28,500+ square foot Software Engineering Center and Small Business Incubator, successfully delivered several prototypes of The Joint Integrated Satellite Communications Technology program to the Air Force, achieved a GSA schedule 70 IT contract, and serve as a voice for the industry at the local, state, and federal level.
We are an organization in dynamic transition from idea and concept to individual program success, to multi-program efforts, policy education and advocacy, academic partnerships and grants, and community involvement.
