PRISM is one of a family of student sponsorship programmes initiated by the Department of Defence (DoD). The programme facilitates the transfer of knowledge and fosters the development of skilled human capital in the disciplines of optics, electro-optics, image processing and computer vision. This paper presents the research collaboration model with universities that has ensured the PRISM programme's success. It is shown that this collaboration model has resulted in a pipeline of highly-skilled people, impact-generating outcomes and scientific publications.
