Abstract
The Office of Technology Transition (OTT) was established by the Secretary of Defense in response to 10 U.S.C. 2515 to serve as a focal point for the domestic technology transfer activities of the Department of Defense. This report required by Section 2515 (See Appendix A) summarizes the accomplishments and highlights key technology transfer efforts throughout the Department for FY 2002 and FY 2003. This tenth report discusses our major successes in transferring technology using methods discussed in Section B of this report. Appendix B provides the number of reported active technology transfer mechanisms by laboratory centers for FY 1998 through FY 2003. Appendix C displays specific data elements showing the trends in Cooperative Research and Development Agreements (CRADA) and Patent License Agreements (PLA) and the increase in royalty income as a result of licensing DoD developed technologies. Appendix D highlights some of the technology transfers such as "the Vein Viewer" which is a system and method for enhancing visualization of veins arteries and other subcutaneous natural or foreign structure in the body. Appendices E and F provide the details of the Federal Laboratory Consortium (FLC) awards to DoD activities for FY 2002 and FY 2003 respectively.
