Tech Transition Program
Abstract
The Tech 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 to quickly move them into warfighting capability. The Tech 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 FY 2019, the following efforts were transferred from PE 0604858F, Tech Transition Program: Advanced Engine Transition Program to PE 0604004F, Advanced Engine Development, Project 643608, Advanced Engine Development; Hypersonics Prototyping to PE 0604033F, Hypersonics Prototyping, Project 643885, Hypersonic Conventional Strike Weapon, and Project 643882, Air-Launched Rapid Response Weapon; and Directed Energy Prototyping to PE 0604032F, Directed Energy Prototyping, Project 640200, Directed Energy Prototyping. These transfers were Congressionally directed in the Department of Defense Appropriations Act of 2019 for greater transparency of Air Force prototyping activities. 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, 0605898F, and 0605833F. As directed in the FY 2018 NDAA, Sec 825, amendment to PL 114-92 FY 2016 NDAA, Sec 828 Penalty for Cost Overruns, the FY 2018 Air Force penalty total is $14.373M. The calculated percentage reduction to each research, development, test and evaluation and procurement account will be allocated proportionally from all programs, projects, or activities under such account. This effort 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
- Decrease in FY 2018 of $15.867 million due to Congressional directed reduction in the Consolidated Appropriation Act of 2018 for unjustified growth in experimentation campaigns. Increase in FY 2018 of $66.659 million due to reprogrammings for Hypersonics Prototyping and Multi-Domain Command and Control (MDC2) experimentation. Decrease in FY 2019 of $1,048.413 million due to the Congressional directed transfer of Advanced Engine Development (Advanced Engine Transition Program (AETP)), Hypersonics Prototyping, and Directed Energy Prototyping into separate program elements. Decrease in FY 2020 base funding of $789.927 million due to Congressional directed transfer of Advanced Engine Development (AETP), Hypersonics Prototyping, and Directed Energy Prototyping into separate program elements. FY 2020 includes $26.450 million of OCO.
