Partnership with the U.S. Army
The ISN is sponsored through the U.S. Army Research Office in Durham, North Carolina. More than just a sponsor, the U.S. Army is an important partner in solving the problems of the soldier. While the ISN's nanotechnology approach is new, scientists at the Army have been working to address soldiers' challenges—like excess weight and insufficient ballistic protection—for decades. The ISN fits into the Army's Future Force Warrior program.

Many of these programs are supported by basic and applied research conducted at the Natick Soldier Center in Natick, Massachusetts. The Army Research Laboratory (ARL) and Assistant Secretary of the Army for Acquisition, Logistics, and Technology [ASA(ALT)] are also key ISN partners.
