    Selling products to the military.

    NOTABLE! 
    What has happened since my last post: Invented two new products that are right now being tested by the military. They are niche products but still are applicable in every NATO country. There is definitely a demand for the products. Visited again abroad a NATO fair and promoted my products. I...

    The Armed Forces of Ukraine would definitely be interested in those products. No doubt. However, selling to foreign countries depends on many factors that I cannot discuss without getting into politics.

    When I surfed the Internet earlier this year, I discovered that NATO was organizing industry days for companies. Although the booths were booked, I still decided to register. I was automatically put on a waiting list. Six months later, I received an e-mail saying that a booth has become...

    After six months of complete silence, I received an email from a foreign high-ranking military officer. The testing period was successful and they would like a demo day in their military base so that I could introduce the device to different military unit representatives so that they can place...

    I got a chance to deliver the product. The foreign country's defense force representative was pretty amazed. They are testing the product and making sure that it meets the high standards. Hope it goes well. Two weeks ago made my first sale. It took two years and a bunch of prototypes but it...

    A week ago I received the export license. It took some time but finally, I´ve got things sorted out. Unfortunately, due to C0VlD-19, there are restrictions which, won't allow me to enter the country. Now I have to wait till the restrictions are lifted. I hope this C0VlD-19 situation does not...

    A week ago I received a product sample request from a foreign country's defense force. I was pretty excited and still am. After some digging and phone calls, it turns out, that you can´t just send a product like that to another country. Tons of paperwork needs to be done. Business...

    Trial and error again and again but finally I have a working product and a user manual. The military wants to test the product for a couple of months and then hopefully can I make my first sale. Meanwhile, I need to apply for a NATO stock number(NSN) so that other NATO members could see it in...

    When starting with this project I was fortuned enough to talk to some people that are in that kind of business. They said: 1) a patent will help but the real aim should be to saturate the market as fast as possible. 2)the high entry barrier cancels out most of the competition. 3)there are some...

    Final stage testing went well. The weather was sunny and the CNC milled product worked flawlessly. Everyone was happy. So I went to a company, that produces plastic injection molds and showed the CNC milled parts to them hoping that the long CAD drawing nights would be finally over. It turns...

    It's been a while since my last post. I´ve been improving and presenting my prototype to different military officers and forces. The MOD contract helps here a lot. Next month will be the final stage testing. Hopefully, everything works out. The aim is to present the actual product at the Defence...

    The ministry of defence approved my application! Unbelievable. The defence committee approves only ideas or prototypes that have a high export potential and my prototype is one of them. Compared to others applicants I'm basically a nobody. But finally I'm getting a chance to be in the game...

    My friends' kid turned two the other day. As a present, I gave him a children's animal book. He tried to swipe the pictures but the animals did not move and after that, he tossed the book away. Sad.
