Book Description
Accelerating the transition of new technologies into systems and products will be crucial to the Department of Defenses development of a lighter, more flexible fighting force. Current long transition times-ten years or more is now typical-are attributed to the complexity of the process. To help meet these challenges, the Department of Defense asked the National Research Council to examine lessons learned from rapid technology applications by integrated design and manufacturing groups. This report presents the results of that study, which was based on a workshop held to explore these successful cases. Three key areas emerged: creating a culture for innovation and rapid technology transition; methodologies and approaches; and enabling tools and databases.

Book Description
This book draws on the ten nation CREDIT (Capacity for Research on European Defence and Industrial Technology) network which was set up to tackle issue concerning defence science, technology and industrial policy, including the implications of the Cold War and a growing pan-European emphasis. By providing a comparative study of policy and practice in the countries of western Europe, the book provides vital insights into how governments and firms can begin to search for European-wide solutions to the dilemmas that face them.

DEFENSE TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT: Technology Transition Programs Support Military Users, but Opportunities Exist to Improve Measurement of Outcomes
Author: U.s. Government Accountability Office Publisher: Createspace Independent Publishing Platform ISBN: 9781974199815 Category : Languages : en Pages : 48
Book Description
" DOD and Congress recognize that technology innovation sometimes moves too slowly from the lab to the field. Programs have been created in DOD to help facilitate the transition of new technologies. The conference report accompanying the fiscal year 2012 National Defense Authorization Act directed GAO to undertake a body of work that will provide a holistic assessment of DOD's S&T enterprise. This report reflects the results from GAO's first review, which focuses on technology transition. Generally, when technologies have been sufficiently matured in the S&T environment, the technologies are available to transition to a military user. GAO's specific objectives were to (1) determine what DOD programs are dedicated to facilitating technology transition, (2) assess the outcomes of these transition programs, and (3) identify practices among the programs that may facilitate technology transition. GAO conducted interviews with and collected information from each technology transition program to identify their selection, management, and assessment practices, as well as project outcomes. "

Book Description
Addresses defense industry and technology base activities under eight separate statutory authority programs and sets forth planned selection criteria by which proposals received under a future solicitation will be evaluated. Covers: technology reinvestment activities (technology development, technology deployment, and manufacturing education and training), and eligibility and statutory programs. Also, planning for submission of proposals.

Book Description
After the Soviet Union launched the first satellite into orbit in 1957, the U.S. government made a commitment to initiate, rather than react to, strategic technological surprises. DOD relies on DARPA's disruptive innovations to maintain this promise, backed by congressional appropriations of over $2.9 billion in fiscal year 2015 alone. In April 2015, DOD reported that U.S. technological superiority is again being challenged by potential adversaries and renewed efforts to improve its products. Meanwhile, GAO found deficiencies in DOD's technology transition processes that may hinder these efforts and DARPA's goals. Senate Report 113-176 included a provision for GAO to review DOD's technology transition processes, practices, and results. This report focuses on DARPA and assesses its (1) effectiveness at transitioning technologies since fiscal year 2010, including identifying factors that contribute to successful transitions, and (2) implementation of DOD policies and programs intended to facilitate technology transition. GAO reviewed DARPA programs completed since 2010; identified transition factors by analyzing program documentation for a random sample of 10 cases; reviewed DOD policies; and interviewed DOD officials.

Book Description
Congress and DoD officials have voiced concern that technology has not quickly transitioned to the warfighter. The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency's mission is to develop imaginative, innovative, and often high-risk research ideas offering a significant technological impact on DoD and commercial systems. The primary role of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency is to act as the technical change leader for the DoD and its mission is to promote revolutionary technical innovations to support our national security.

Book Description
Appropriate methods and the proper execution thereof are critical to the success of technology transition. A significant hurdle in this process is the phase in which the Science & Technology community is prepared to hand-off a technology, which has not achieved a sufficiently high enough Technology Readiness Level (TRL), Manufacturing Readiness Level (MRL), or System Readiness Level (SRL) for the Engineering and Manufacturing community. This analysis concentrated on three technology transition factors: Organization, Policy, and Metrics (OPM). Organizational transformation encompasses the recent expansion of technology transition groups and initiatives within DoD. Additionally, the overall mindset of cooperative development and open communication are detailed within the Organizational focal area. The Policy focal area delves into the various DoD technology transition governing principles included in the DoD 5000, the Defense Acquisition Guidebook, and other governing documents. Lastly, the Technology Metrics focal area concentrates on the importance of technology maturation and how to qualitatively and objectively assess technologies. Thorough research was conducted on these areas to demonstrate DoD's recent efforts to bridge the gap and provide innovative solutions to the Warfighter within a reduced timeframe. Additionally, a case study analysis was conducted on a Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Program, Boomerang, to highlight attributes of a successful technology transition.

Book Description
The U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) is an independent agency that works for Congress. The GAO watches over Congress, and investigates how the federal government spends taxpayers dollars. The Comptroller General of the United States is the leader of the GAO, and is appointed to a 15-year term by the U.S. President. The GAO wants to support Congress, while at the same time doing right by the citizens of the United States. They audit, investigate, perform analyses, issue legal decisions and report anything that the government is doing. This is one of their reports.
