Partnership Intermediary Agreement(s)

Abstract

In FY 2012, DoD devolved management of OSD sponsored Partnership Intermediaries (PIs) to the Air Force (AF). The Air Force Technology Transfer & Transition Office manages the Montana State University's TechLink & MilTech Partnership Intermediary Agreements (PIAs) as well as Air Force Partnership Intermediary Agreements (PIAs). TechLink brokered 70% of DoD licenses over the past 10 years. Technology Transfer is a critical strategy for the National Defense Strategy and DoD that makes the best possible use of national scientific, technical resources and information to enhance the effectiveness of DoD forces and warfighting capability systems. The Air Force Technology Transfer program oversees all AF inventions/patents and technology transfer agreements. This project includes the management of DoD/AF PIAs, Federal Lab Consortium Fees, invention disclosure & patent fees, information management data base, travel, training, outreach and tech scouting events. This program impacts virtually all technology fields, including biotechnology, quantum science, autonomy, advanced materials, microelectronics, energy generation and storage technologies, and more. This effort supports our mission to innovate and modernize DoD weapon systems through collaborative teamwork and strategic partnerships.
