International Technology Centers
Abstract
The nine ITCs located in North America, South America, Asia, and Europe support the Army's goals of providing the best technology in the world to our Warfighters by leveraging the Science and Technology (S&T) investments of our international partners. The ITCs perform identification and assessment of international technology programs to assess their potential impact on the Army's S&T investment strategy and modernization priorities. ITC 'technology finds' are submitted to various Army S&T organizations for assessment and consideration for further research and development through avenues such as the Foreign Technology (and Science) Assessment Support (FTAS) Program. Highly promising research is awarded seed funding by the ITC through a grant, contract, or cooperative agreement - typically to a foreign researcher. The international basic research mission exploits new scientific discoveries and technology breakthroughs from international universities that have the potential to deliver future Army transformational capabilities. Highly promising research finds will be awarded seed funding through a grant, contract, or cooperative agreement. Technology finds' are submitted to various Army S&T organizations for assessment and consideration for further research and development.
