US naval supplier Fairbanks Morse Defense (FMD) has launched an ‘Accelerator' programme to help small businesses develop technology with maritime defence applications.

The Accelerator provides participants with mentoring, training, technical support, and access to FMD contacts at the US Navy and the US Coast Guard. During the Navy League Sea-Air-Space 2023 conference, FMD CEO George Whittier told reporters on 4 April that the programme will help his company “bring the most innovative solutions to our customers”. FMD plans to invest “single-digit millions” of dollars in the initiative annually, Whittier said.

FMD highlighted three Accelerator participants at the show – Boston Engineering of Waltham, Massachusetts, in the US; Oceus Networks of Reston, Virginia, in the US; and PureLiFi of Edinburgh, Scotland. All three exhibited devices are designed to help with ship maintenance.
