Technology Transfer and Transition

Abstract

The Technology Transfer and Transition (TT&T) program element has two sub-elements: Technology Transfer (P942), and Technology Transition Initiative (P949). Defense Technology Transfer's three-fold mission is (1) integration of advanced commercial-sector technologies into Department of Defense (DoD) systems, particularly from nontraditional defense contractors; (2) spinoff of DoD-developed technologies to industry for product development and to make these technologies available for military acquisition; and (3) establishment of collaborative Research and Development (R&D) projects with the private sector for cost-sharing of new dual-use technology development. The Technology Transition Initiative (TTI), authorized by Title 10 and Section 242 of the FY 2003 Defense Authorization Act, facilitates the rapid transition of new technologies from the DoD science and technology (S&T) base into DoD acquisition programs. The program addresses the funding gaps that exist between the time a mature technology is demonstrated and the time it can be funded and procured for use in an intended weapons system or operational capability for the warfighter. Since the TTI (P949) program inception in FY 2003, 78 projects have been initiated and 50 have completed. Of the 50 completed projects, 35 (70%) successfully transitioned to DoD Acquisition Programs of Record or procurement contracts for operational use and subsequent fielding.
