Homeland Defense Technology Transfer Program

Abstract

The Homeland Defense Technology Transfer program ensures a successful and balanced transfer of dual-use technology equipment and information to first responders without impeding military readiness. Accelerates dual-use tech transfer to first responders, increases effectiveness of equipment transfers to first responders, and transfers technology through a transitional effort that has dual utility to improve homeland security and enhance public safety without degrading military readiness. The program meets the Congressional intent of Sec 1401, FY 2003 National Defense Authorization Act (P.L. 107-314) and supports the National Defense Strategy through continuously delivering performance with affordability and speed as we change Departmental mindset, culture, and management systems. The program consolidates and coordinates various military endeavors that pass technology and equipment to first responders. Works with a variety of DoD activities, interagency partners, and first responder organizations to ensure that dual-use military technology is expedited into the commercial sector for use by law enforcement, fire, and emergency medical service personnel. Works with the Military Departments and Defense Logistics Agency to ensure that appropriate excess military equipment is made available to the first responder community on an expedited basis. Fulfills Congressional intent to help improve public safety and enhance public security.
