Ashton Carter on September 14, 2016 announced the creation of a new defense innovation center in Austin, Texas -- the latest expansion in an ongoing effort to connect with some of America's hippest tech communities. Carter's project, called Defense Innovation Unit Experimental, or DIUx, already has offices in Silicon Valley and in the Boston area, home to Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. / AFP PHOTO / Brendan SmialowskiBRENDAN SMIALOWSKI/AFP/Getty Images
