The Use of Technology Transfer Centers by Department of Defense Industrial Facilities

Abstract

One problem posed by the Navy's industrial facilities is that they do not have the resources to stay fully abreast of all of the new technologies or industrial processes of potential value to their facilities. This paper describes the attributes of various types of technology transfer centers in existence in the United States today, and provides a brief evaluation of which type of technology transfer capability is most appropriate to the needs of the Navy's shipyards and aviation depots. The paper recommends that the Navy provide its industrial activities with access to technology transfer centers, and suggests a five-step plan for accomplishing this.
