Technology Transition (ATD)
Abstract
Project TT3 validates high-risk/high-payoff technologies, concepts-of-operations, and a Joint Combat Developer concept development and experimentation process to significantly improve Warfighter capabilities in preparation for transition of mature chemical and biological (CB) defense technologies to advanced development programs. This project addresses the three primary chemical and biological defense thrust areas of Assess, Protect, and Mitigate with an emphasis on Integrated Early Warning (IEW) and Integrated Layered Defense (ILD). IEW is conducted through a coordinated program approach focused on layering chemical and biological detection technologies and integrating CB threat indicators, providing a combination of awareness and understanding that facilitates effective decision making so the force can continue military operations and achieve mission success in a CBRN environment. The ILD achieves solutions for capability gaps across medical and non-medical commodity areas to enable warfighter survival and rapid recovery in a CBRN environment. In FY2023, the CBDP RDT&E Projects have been restructured to align to the CBDP portfolio. TT3 thrust areas in FY2022 progress to the Enabling Investments (EN3) portfolio. This restructuring is intended to provide standardization and alignment across CBDP research, development and acquisition efforts. Individual efforts in this Project include: -Programs that offer the opportunity to identify and efficiently mature emerging technologies, reduce risks, and finalize engineering and integration efforts. -Programs that seek to demonstrate the potential for enhanced military operational capability and/or cost effectiveness. Upon conclusion of the technical and operational demonstrations, the user or sponsor provides a determination of the military utility and operational impact of the technology and capability demonstrated. Successfully demonstrated technologies with proven military utility can remain in place for future extended user evaluations, accepted into the advanced stages of the formal acquisition process, proceed directly into limited or full- scale production or be returned to the technical base for further development.
