A Perspective on Transitioning Technology from Exploratory to Advanced Development. R&D Categories 6.2 to 6.3.

Abstract

The objective of advancing a technology is to solve a fleet need. This paper is written primarily for the engineers and scientists who develop a technology and believe it is ready for the transition from Exploratory Development to Advanced Development. Its purpose is to provide them with a basic understanding of the role of Exploratory Development efforts in the overall Navy R&D program and of their role in transitioning technology. This overview presents certain basic concepts because the way in which R&D projects are established and funded has a major impact on the work of the engineers and scientists in Navy R&D laboratories.
