Technology Insertion Program for Savings (TIPS)

Abstract

The mission of the Technology Insertion Program for Savings (TIPS) is to fund smart solutions for rapid insertion of new technologies that are inserted into DON acquisition programs in order to reduce operations and maintenance support costs across DoN acquisition programs. The TIPS program is structured to quickly transition applicable commercial off-the- shelf solutions and late-stage development technologies from any source, to meet emerging opportunities that lead to cost efficiencies in operations, maintenance, support, training, and/or logistics, and is supported by a business case that justifies all associated costs and schedule risks while demonstarting a positive return on investment (ROI) that is quantifiable and clearly explained given realistic assumptions. 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. Funding increase from FY15 through FY16 provides continuity for executing efforts already committed in FY14 and FY15, ensuring benefits are realized once efforts have transitioned to meet current needs. Beginning in FY 2017, funding is realigned to new PE 0603382N for Rapid Prototype Development.
