Patrick Hart

Patrick Hart serves as Project Director for W6QK Acc-orlando under the Department of the Army, where he leads the acquisition and integration of advanced military training systems and defense technology solutions. In this role, he oversees the full lifecycle of technical service contracts—from requirements development to contract execution—ensuring alignment with the Army’s priorities in live-fire simulation, mission command modernization, and aviation/artillery training infrastructure. His acquisitions focus on engineering, research, and technical services that enhance operational readiness through innovation in training doctrine and system interoperability. Hart plays a pivotal role in translating operational needs into actionable procurement strategies that support the Army’s digital transformation goals. He maintains consistent partnerships with key contractors including TORCH RESEARCH, LLC, AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY INTERNATIONAL, and FIDELITY TECHNOLOGIES CORPORATION, all of which provide specialized expertise in simulation modeling, systems integration, and mission-critical software development. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for established defense technology providers with proven capabilities in complex, high-stakes environments, often engaging them through performance-based service contracts that emphasize outcomes over inputs. These relationships are built on technical rigor, compliance with DoD standards, and iterative delivery cycles. Hart demonstrates a steadfast commitment to small business participation, with 100% of his acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to cultivate innovation from agile, niche vendors and ensure broad socioeconomic inclusion across the defense technology ecosystem. He consistently prioritizes small businesses with relevant technical credentials, fostering long-term capacity building within the defense industrial base. While NAICS data is not available, his procurement portfolio centers on advanced engineering services, defense simulation systems, command and control software, and training device integration—domains requiring deep expertise in military doctrine, cybersecurity, and real-time data analytics. His technical focus lies at the intersection of human-machine teaming and immersive training environments.
