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 demonstrating 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. Beginning in FY 2017, funding is realigned to new PE 0603382N Advanced Combat Systems Technology for Rapid Prototype Development.
