Technical Operations Support (TOPS)

Abstract

The Technical Operations Support (TOPS) program was established to assess existing and future Air Force systems requirements and identify materials and processes needs to met these requirements. TOPS was implemented to develop draft research and development plans to meet these requirements, to develop and implement strategies to promote adoption of Materials and Manufacturing Technology Directorate technology on Air Force systems, and to transfer this knowledge to the public sector. To facilitate the TOPS program and management process, all efforts were categorized into one of six categories: analysis, assessments, technical consulations, technology transition and transfer, strategic studies, and workshops.
