Between 200 to 2016, Maryland's investment in R&D increased more than 80%, with $20.8 billion spend in 2017 alone. Aberdeen Proving Ground's presence in Harford continues to make the county a hub for research and development of new technologies. The installation's focus on research, development, testing, and evaluation (RDTE) has facilitated the advent of products and services ranging the multi-use spectrum. The technology incubator Harford Business Innovation Center (HBIC) is home to DefTech, which leverages cutting-edge technology developed on APG, as well as The U.S. Army Futures Command's Network Cross-Functional Team (N-CFT). The N-CFT's goal is to work with industry and entrepreneurs on technology solutions to emerging threats to national security. The collaboration between industry, academia, government, and APG is critical in supporting R&D and innovation through technology transfer.
