Technology Transition Initiative (TTI)

Abstract

The Quick Reaction Special Projects Program (Program Element 0603826D8Z) has three sub-elements: the Technology Transition Initiative (TTI), the Quick Reaction Fund (QRF) and the Rapid Reaction Fund (RRF). The fiscal controls above represent the investment of the QRSP Program funding for the TTI Program. The Technology Transfer and Transition (TT&T) program (Program Element 0603942D8Z) has two sub-elements: the Technology Transfer program (P942), and the Technology Transition Initiative (P949). The fiscal controls above represent the investment of the TT&T Program funding for the TTI Program (P949). The Technology Transition Initiative (TTI), authorized by Title 10 and Section 242 of the FY2003 Defense Authorization Act, facilitates the rapid transition of new technologies from the Department of Defense (DoD) science and technology (S&T) base into DoD acquisition programs. The program addresses the funding gaps that exist between the time a mature technology is demonstrated and the time it can be funded and procured for use in an intended weapons system or operational capability for the warfighter. Since the program inception in FY 2003, 78 projects have been initiated and 41 are complete. Of the 50 completed projects, 35 (70%) have successfully transitioned to DoD Acquisition Programs of Record or procurement contracts for operational use and subsequent fielding; exceeding the objective of 30% for demonstration programs (Strategic Objective 4-3, Office of the Under Secretary of Defense, Acquisition, Technology & Logistics (OUSD (AT&L)).
