Advanced Concept Technology Demonstration: Advanced Concept Technology Demonstration A process that permits the early and inexpensive evaluation of mature advanced technology to meet the needs of and provide support to a military user, the warfighter. This Process determines military utility of new technology. Develops and refines operational concepts so as to take full advantage of new capability. Provides a product that must allow for transition into a formal acquisition effort and must support military capability. Must produce a product that provides for evaluation and refinement (a “residual”). Sponsored and executed jointly. Funded primarily from service budgets. Technology can come from many sources


Department of Navy  – Request for Technology and Systems: Department of Navy – Request for Technology and Systems Broad Area Announcements (BAAs) Competitive funding of meritorious research across a spectrum of science and engineering disciplines. Prior to preparing proposals, potential offerors are strongly encouraged to contact the technical point of contact whose program best matches the offeror’s field of interest. Solicitations Competitive funding of the development of systems See various DoD and Navy websites for solicitation Procurement of Commercial Items and Services Competitive funding of services and products www.fedbizopps.gov See www.dodtechmatch.com for wide variety of opportunities and resources


Department of Defense and Navy - Programs for Small Business: Department of Defense and Navy - Programs for Small Business SBIR (Small Business Innovation Research) Program Small Business set aside program designed to promote high technology development that will assist the Navy to meet its mission needs and the nation to develop new products for public use/consumption. STTR (Small Business Technology Transfer) Program Small Business set aside program, similar to the SBIR program, however, the small business is required to have an agreement with a research institution that has both entities developing the technology required by the Navy. http://www.acq.osd.mil/sadbu/sbir/

ONR Program  - Commercial Technology Transition Officer: To rapidly transition technology from any source into the Fleet/Force CTTO is a Deal Broker Deal Transition Agreement Matchmake Solutions to Naval Needs PEOs Naval Acquisition Programs Funded by RTT* Program ONR Program - Commercial Technology Transition Officer * Rapid Technology Transition http://www.onr.navy.mil/ctto/


Getting Started…: Getting Started… Recommend determine and know the following up front: What is the Naval Need the technology/product is solving What program(s) need the technology/product Who are the other government/industry partners in the solution When is the insertion window What policies and guidance may impact the use of the technology/product How much money is available for development, integration, and procurement How many are needed


Quick Evaluation: Quick Evaluation Does the technology… Change manpower requirements (#, skills) Require new/different data/information Change operations Require new logistics Impact planning Require changes to existing infrastructure Impact training requirements Require more/less funding to buy & operate Impact health and safety Require any legal, policy or guidance changes


….Be Aware: ….Be Aware Much DoD business is done by Prime Contractors The government generally has data rights, IP etc if government funding is used to develop the product Be familiar with the Federal Acquisition Regulation/Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation IP can be a negotiation point -> SBIR protects IP for a certain number of years Government contracting is a deliberate process and is time consuming Execution of Naval programs is deliberate Oversight Demonstrations conducted during windows of opportunity Land-based testing Sea-based testing (6 month deployment) Joint Service/Navy certifications/qualification processes


Naval Needs: Naval Needs Naval Needs are a desired increase in capability The acquisition and S&T communities work closely together to identify technology approaches and solutions Each domain has an organization that works to identify the technologies desired and to either find a commercial solution or have a solution developed These organizations are referred to as the ‘X-TECHs’ Aircraft – ‘AIRTECH’ Ships – SURFTECH Carriers - CARTECH Submarines – SUBTECH FORCEnet – ‘I-TECH’ Watch for desired capabilities in the following: Broad Area Announcements, Solicitations, FedBizOPs “X-TECHs” websites, Conferences, …
