Manager's Guide to Technology Transition in an Evolutionary Acquisition Environment
Abstract
The National Security Strategy (NSS) highlights the dramatic changes in the security needs of our nation. The Department of Defense (DoD) is transforming to meet the challenges that it will face in the 21st century. "Taking full advantage of science and technology" is a critical aspect of the transformation. To take full advantage of Science and Technology (S&T), DoD must place the best possible technology in the hands of the soldiers, sailors, airmen, Marines, and civilians who will conduct and support future military operations. Accelerating the flow of technology to the warfighter is one of the top priorities of the Under Secretary of Defense (Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics) [USD(AT&L), as well as the Services, defense agencies, and other key defense organizations that help transition technology. DoD is joined in transitioning technology by U.S. industry large and small businesses, defense contractors, and companies that have not traditionally dealt with DoD. This document, the Manager's Guide to Technology Transition in a Evolutionary Acquisition Environment (Manager's Guide) is intended to be a source of information to promote collaboration among team members. It provides an overview of the processes, communities, programs, and challenges associated with technology transition. The Manger's Guide shows readers possible ways to plan ahead for their programs and areas of pursuit and, where possible, lists sources that can provide information about strategies or approaches.
