Introduction of ADTC Project: 

Introduction of ADTC Project

ADTC Project: 

ADTC Project The new HSV ADTC Project is the result of: Local leaders creating VCSI to enable collaborative R&D, prototype development and engineering demonstration projects Mayor Battle recognizing the need to provide higher level technical services to our current government customers, extend our technology reach to other government agencies, and creating new commercial firms, and The HSV-Madison County Chamber of Commerce embracing the value of technology to our regional economy – today and in the future HSV has been recognized by a variety of national organizations and publications – but not as an Advanced Defense Technology Cluster ADTC proposal had three primary objectives: Gain recognition for HSV as an Advanced Defense Technology Cluster Provide the Region with a “draft” strategy for its technical assets and the pursuit of new R&D activities and projects with DOD and other R&D organizations Act as a catalyst to get businesses in the community focused on advanced technology for government and commercial customers and to create new job opportunities One commitment in the proposal was the formation of a Technology Committee within the HSV Chamber of Commerce – today that is a reality!

HUNTSVILLE Contracting Mechanisms

ADTC Project Focus Areas: 

ADTC Project Focus Areas Based on a mapping of regional technical assets, customer needs, and emerging markets, the HSV SBA ADTC Proposal indentified five technology focus areas: Small spacecraft Environmental monitoring Intel-Surveillance-Recon Robotics-Interoperable Systems Innovative Energy Applications After the contract award, the ADTC Project added Cyber Security as a sixth technology focus area Overarching project goal is to link customer requirements to local assets or combinations of local assets & to identify the optimal procurement vehicle, to create new high technology related jobs

Range of HSV ADTC Services: 

Range of HSV ADTC Services Core Services : Business Training and Counseling, Mentoring, Tech Transfer Counseling, Engaged with DOD SBIR Programs, Facility Clearance Support, Export Readiness Counseling Theme: Build on Existing Foundation of SBA Supported Assets ADT Focused Services : Bid Matching, Prime Contractor Meetings, Specialized DOD Procurement Training (DOD and DARPA Proposals), Collaborative R&D Concepts, FastTrac Tech Venture Training, SBIR Proposal Activities, etc. Theme: Provide ADT focused services to regional small businesses Integration Services : ID DOD customer requirements, ID technology solutions, assess small business capabilities, assess teaming arrangements, assessing procurement options, frame collaborative activities, etc. Theme: Match customer requirements with local technical assets and required procurement mechanisms – create new opportunities for HSV based businesses

Linkage to Chamber Technology Committee: 

Linkage to Chamber Technology Committee

Chamber Technology Committee: 

Chamber Technology Committee Initially designed with ADTC technology focus areas in mind Technology focus areas will evolve over time some will survive some will disappear some will be integrated some will be reframed others could emerge – for example Cyber Security or BioTech Chamber Technology Committee is not constrained by the focus areas of the ADTC Initiative – but it is a key enabler for the ADTC Initiative ADTC Initiative will reach out broadly to firms in the region – hopes to use Chamber Committee and its Subcommittees to refine its approach and methodology At the end of the day would like Chamber Technology Committee to be a Standing Committee and the HSV ADTC Initiative to be a permanently funded activity with broad community support

Next Steps for HSV ADTC : 

Next Steps for HSV ADTC Publish key technology requirements for CoComs Share initial DOD customer requirements Develop searchable portal for collaboration among small businesses Vet current portals for accessing Government requirements to introduce small technology firms to those that are most effective in identifying real procurement opportunities Set dates for meetings with candidate technology focus area firms – firms that responded to ADTC survey Meet with local technology groups to inform members of new initiative and opportunities Cluster Meeting for Government Customers co-hosted by AMRDEC – January 13 (tentative)

Next Steps for HSV ADTC : 

Next Steps for HSV ADTC Offer specialized ADT training – JUONs, JCTDs, DOD, DARPA and NASA procurements to start Vet Energy Initiative with DOE and DOD – identify other key procurement opportunities e.g. ARPA E Call for Proposals, DOD RFPs Market some technology initiatives that validate the ADTC concept Develop database of local small business capabilities and competencies Conduct ideation sessions to assist technology firms in transitioning technologies and capabilities into solutions for customers Work with SBA and DoD to improve communication between procurement authorities and small technology firms in Huntsville region
