Tech Transition Program
Abstract
The Technology Transition Program (TTP) provides funding to demonstrate, prototype and experiment with technologies and concepts to enable or accelerate their transition to acquisition programs and/or operational use. TTP addresses the gap between initial technology or concept development and demonstration, and successful acquisition and operational capability implementation. Experimentation explores new concepts and their applications in potential future operating environments within a system-of-systems context. Prototyping enables integration and demonstration of emerging technologies as a bridge between the laboratory and the warfighter. TTP allows acquisition program managers (the capability developers) and warfighters (the capability recipients and end users) to prototype, integrate, and demonstrate candidate technologies and assess them in an operational environment in partnership with Program Executive Officers (PEO), schoolhouses, simulation facilities, and development planning organizations. For FY18, Project 645350, Transition Prioritization was re-named Experimentation to better describe the efforts in the project. For FY18, Project 645351, Advanced Engine Development was re-named Prototyping to better describe the efforts in the project. This program is in Budget Activity 4, Advanced Component Development and Prototypes (ACD&P) because efforts are necessary to evaluate integrated technologies, representative modes, or prototype systems in a high fidelity and realistic operating environment.
