Tech Info Func Actv
Abstract
This project provides funding for technology transfer activities to support acquisition, storage, and utilization of technical information for both military and domestic applications. Effective exploitation of science and technology (S&T) information is critical to achieving the goals established by senior Army leadership. Activities include Army support for Federal Laboratory Consortium (FLC) as required by Public Law; the Army Science Board; the Army Science Conference; S&T database management efforts; and administration of the Army's Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer Program (STTR) in accordance with the Small Business Innovation Development Act of 1982, the Small Business Research and Development Enhancement Act of 1992 and subsequent reauthorizing legislation. Technology transfer activities make technical information available to both the public and private sectors to reduce duplication in Research and Development programs and to increase competitiveness in the US business community. Database management efforts support development of decision aids, databases, and automation support for the management and execution of the Army Research, Development, Test and Evaluation (RDTE) appropriation. In addition, this project provides funding for patent legal expenses and fees for all U.S. Army Research, Development, and Engineering Command (RDECOM) subordinate commands and laboratories, as required by the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act. The cited work is consistent with the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering science and technology priority focus areas and the Army Modernization Strategy Work is performed by the U.S. Army Research Development and Engineering Command (RDECOM), Aberdeen Proving Ground, MD and the U.S. Army Research Laboratory (ARL), Adelphi, MD.
