Integrated Transition Solutions
• Technology Transfer– Partnership Between Government & Industry– Technology Developed by One Entity Use by the
Other– Developer Usually Retain Residual Rights
• Technology Transition– Products of Government Developed S&T– Evaluated for Operational Suitability– Provided to a New or Existing Acquisition Program
to Obtain Enhanced Capability for the Warfighter

The Situation
• Large DoD Investment in Technology Development – Navy $1.6B– Army $1.7B– USAF $2.1B– DOD Agencies $5.6B
TOTAL $11.0B*
• But……Perception is that the ROI is Small
• So…….It Gets A Lot of Outside Attention

The Problem
• Many Communities Involved• Each with Defined Mission • Each with Own Unique Processes
BUT….
• All Must Work Together to Achieve Transition

In Traditional Programs– These Communities Engage Serially
In Accelerated / Non-Traditional Programs– The Engagement Becomes Parallel– New Project Teams Don’t Have Time To
Learn All The interfaces They Are Required To Manage
The Problem

The Problem
The Warfighter Needs Total Solutions
A Quick Solution ThatCan’t Be Supported……
Doesn’t Cut It In The Long Run

• “Knowing / Doing Gap”
• Collectively, We Know What To Do– Study Findings / Recommendations– DSMC Publications– DAWIA Career Field (SPRDE (S&T)) Training– Experienced From Past Efforts
• We Just Have a Really Hard Time Achieving the Required Integration to Pull-Off Accelerated Technology Transition
The Problem

Some Suggestions
Begin With a“Technology Transition Risk Assessment”
Analyze the Risk to Transition FromEach of the Involved Communities
• Capability Needs• Science & Technology• Research & Development• Systems Acquisition• Sustainment
• Test & Evaluation• Financial• Security• Operational

Some Suggestions
Select Mature Technology
• The S&T Portion of Transition Risk Assessment Should be a Technology Readiness Assessment
• Guidelines from DoD Technology Readiness Assessment Deskbook

Some Suggestions
Conduct Adequate Testing
• Adequate testing will eventually be needed to– Obtain Safety Release– Obtain Fielding Decision
• Joint Test and Assessment Activity (JTAA) Provides focused Test Resources

Some Suggestions
IPTs Are Good!!
• Promote Mutual Understanding• Vehicle for Collaboration• Should Include System
Prime Contractor• Measure of Commitment

Some Suggestions
Individual Performance Goals
• Ensue Transition Goals are in PM’s and Transition Manager’s Performance Objectives
• This Helps Align Individual’s Personal Objectives With Goal of the Project

Integrated Transition Solutions
Some Suggestions
Maintain Software Integrity
• Software is “Relatively Easy” to Transition as it Requires no Procurement Funds, but……..
• It must be designed to standards of Network or Targeted System (Rapid Prototype Software usually doesn’t meet requirements for fielding)
![Page 26: Integrated Transition Solutions...Integrated Transition Solutions Year Report Title 2006 GAO 06-883 Stronger Practices Needed to Improve Technology Transition 2005 GAO 05-480 Management](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022050112/5f49c3836016121b7e39de53/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

Some Suggestions Engage the DOTMLPF Pillars
• Operational Commanders are reluctant to use Materiel lacks accepted doctrine & tactics, that the troops have not trained with, and has questionable supportability
• Use IPTs--Have a Relationship Manager
• If Necessary…..Assist Combat Developer

Conclusion• …..I think we know how to do all the things
we need to do• …..We often slip into “The Knowing, Doing
Gap”
It Ain’t Rocket Science, but……
