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 addition, this program element may include necessary civilian pay expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver future weapons system capabilities. The use of such program funds would be in addition to the civilian pay expenses budgeted in program element 0605831F. The FY 2021 funding request was reduced by $17.830 million to account for availability of prior year execution balances. 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
- Increase in FY 2019 of $1.500 million due to reprogramming for human resource software prototype. Decrease in FY 2021 of $61.243 million due to reduced emphasis in prototyping due to higher Department of Defense and Air Force priorities and to account for availability of prior year execution balances and Department of Defense inflationary factors.
