Key Discriminators

Operational Capability

• Technology research acceleration leads to accelerated technology transfer and technology commercialization.

• The technologies/capabilities selected for acceleration align with Future Naval Capabilities.

National Center for Supercomputing Applications

Problem/Readiness/Champions

Problem Being Addressed• Acceleration of transfer of research technologies into the Navy and DoD

and acceleration into the marketplace sooner.

Technology Readiness Level• This technology has completed level 2 (technology concept formulated).

Champions• ONR has requested that University of Illinois undertake this initiative and

supports allocating $500K of TRECC Program funds.

• UI supports this initiative because it promotes entrepreneurship and business start-up.

Tech Transfer and Commercialization

• First year pilot program: Identify technologies of future naval capabilities and requirements

• Seeking to “close the gap” from research to deployment

• Working with the Offices of Technology Management at UIUC and UIC

Hope is to tag researchers with Science and Technology contacts within the Navy, DoD, or in Federal agencies!
