Joint Capability Technology Demonstration Transition

Abstract

The purpose of the Joint Capability Technology Demonstration (JCTD) BA 4 Transition Program is to: - Establish a "Transition Arm" to incorporate dedicated funding outside S&T to enhance the successful transition of JCTD projects to Programs of Record (PORs). - Provide a venue to methodically facilitate transition of successful technologies beyond initial demonstration phase and into early acquisition. - Continue the maturity and fielding of the most successful JCTDs that have proven operational utility and U.S. Combatant Commands deem critical for joint warfighting capabilities. Selection criteria selecting successfully demonstrated projects for JCTD Transition funding: 1) must successfully complete a Operational Utility Assessment (OUA); 2) have strong U.S. Combatant Command (CoCom) support and provide a CoCom/Coalition capability and; 3) require no more than two years of funding until the traditional Planning, Programming Budgeting & Execution (PPBE) process that provides a permanent acquisition/transition solution. Additionally: - Projects must attain a technology maturity of Technical Readiness Level (TRL) 6/7. - JCTD Transition funds will provide a ramp to traditional acquisition just prior to Milestone B by expediting transition at the Initial Capability Document/Capability Development Document (ICD/CDD) phase in the JCIDS process. In FY 2009, the JCTD Transition BA4 executed transition funding of $13.5 million to support nine JCTD transition efforts and one Congressional add. In FY 2009, the Hyperspectral Collection and Analysis (HyCAS) ACTD will receive transition funding to advance Airborne Hyperspectral capabilities. Sensors associated with the HyCAS ACTD have proven effective in operational demonstrations supporting Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF). In addition to HyCAS, other FY 2009 candidates that recieved transition funding are Joint Force Protection (JFP), Coalition Joint Spectrum Management and Planning Tool (CJSMPT), Comprehensive Maritime Awareness (CMA), Regional Maritime Awareness (RMAC), Event Management Framework (EMF), Mapping the Human Terrain (MAP-HT), and Zephyr. A transfer of $10.000 million from the JCTD BA3 developmental PE into the JCTD Transition BA4 PE has enabled a wider selection of potential successful candidates for transition funds while waiting for funding in a program of record increasing the ability to effect successful transition. In FY 2010, projects are programmed to receive transition funding totaling $18.6 million. In FY 2010, projects selected for transition funding are: Mapping the Human Terrain (MAP-HT), Hyperspectral Collection and Analysis (HyCAS), Joint Enable Theater Access (JETA-SPOD), Zephyr, Critical Runway Assessment and Repair (CRATR), Tactical Service Provider (TSP), and Joint Multi-Mission Electro-Optic System (JMMES). In FY 2011 this funding is being transferred to the JCTD BA3 Program Element.
