Bottom Line Up FrontBottom Line Up Front

TATM Process fosters collaboration, leveraging, and cost sharing

Facilitates transition and fielding of technology to the war fighter

Uses disciplined, systems engineering based technology assessment and transition management

Now being tailored and implemented by several organizations

UNCLASSIFIED


Challenge“…acquisition programs often incur cost overruns, schedule delays and performance shortfalls that undermine DOD’s buying power. This dilemma is due in part to DOD’s difficulty transitioning technologies from a technology development environment to an acquisition program.” - GAO Best Practices report, September 2006

• Need to address visibility of S&T to PEO-AV

– Requirement to expedite transition

– Allocation of resources

– Understand scheduling (S&T/Acquisition)

• Benefits

– Voting technique to assess importance/priority

– Metrics to evaluate S&T portfolio

– HTI gaps

– TTA generation

– Solidified approach for acquirer/user/S&T/sustainer
