Technology Insertion Program for Savings (TIPS)

Abstract

The mission of the Technology Insertion Program for Savings (TIPS) is to increase the rate that new cutting edge technologies are inserted into DON acquisition programs in order to significantly reduce operations and maintenance support costs. The program is structured to rapidly transition applicable commercial off-the-shelf solutions and late-stage development technologies from any source to meet an immediate need. TIPS provides execution year funding for a rapid start, bridging the gap until the program of record can fund the completion of the technology insertion. In FY 2011, funding for the TIPS activity within the RTT R&D project (3126) was realigned into its own R&D project number - 3173 - Technology Insertion Program for Savings.
