Technology Transition Initiative
Abstract
The Technology Transition Initiative (TTI), authorized by Title 10 and Section 242 of the FY 2003 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 were initiated and 50 completed. Of the 50 completed projects, 35 (70%) 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)).
