Tech Transition Program
Abstract
The Technology Transition Program provides funding to demonstrate, prototype, and experiment with technologies and concepts to enable or accelerate their transition to acquisition programs and/or operational use. The Technology Transition Program 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. The Technology Transition Program 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, schoolhouses, simulation facilities, and development planning organizations. In addition, this program element may include necessary civilian pay expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver weapon system capability. The use of such program funds would be in addition to the civilian pay expenses budgeted in program elements 0605826F, 0605827F, 0605828F, 0605829F, 0605830F, 0605831F, 0605832F, and 0605898F. For FY 2019, Project 645351, Prototyping, was split into Project 645351, Prototyping; Project 645345, Hypersonics Prototyping; and Project 643608, Advanced Engine Development to provide increased transparency to Congress on prototyping activities within PE 0604858F, Technology Transition Program. 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.

- Change Summary Explanation
- Reprogramming increase of $6.8 million in FY 2017 for acceleration of Hypersonics Prototyping effort. Other adjustment decrease of $2.0 million in FY 2017 because FY 2017 Request for Additional Appropriations (RAA) for Hypersonics Prototyping was not appropriated. Increase in FY 2019 for Hypersonic Prototyping and Adaptive Engine efforts.
