DUSD(AS&C) Report to Congress – July 2007
Four Broad Areas for Improvement:• Responsibility, resources, and programs for technology maturation
beyond TRL 5 (“technology push”) • Requirements, resources, and acquisition strategies for timely
technology transition beyond TRL 7 (“technology pull”) • Technical, cultural, and business barriers to integrating new
suppliers and new technologies into defense system architectures• Focused governance and oversight at the Enterprise Level
Established the Technology Transition Task Force (TT ESG)

Technology TransitionExecutive Steering Group (TT ESG)
PURPOSE: This will be a government-only, senior level steering group that
will tackle solutions for selected barriers and challenges outlined in the Report to Congress on Technology Transition, and report recommendations to the Technology Transition Council, chaired by USD (AT&L), Mr. John Young.
Members:• Assistant DUSD (I&TT), Chair – Ms. Kathleen Harger• One S&T rep from each Service and Agency (DTRA, MDA,
DARPA, etc.)• One Acquisition rep from each Service and Agency • One rep from Joint Requirements Oversight Council• One rep from SOCOM -- Dr. Dale Uhler

According to a GAO review in 2005 of 54 DoD programs:
Only 15% of programs began System Design Decision [post MS B] with
mature technology (TRL 7)
• Programs that attempted to integrate with immature technologies
averaged 41% cost growth and a 13 month schedule delay
At Critical Design Review, 58% of programs demonstrated design
instability (< 90% drawings releasable)
• Design stability not achievable with immature technologies
• Programs without stable designs at CDR averaged 46% cost growth
and a 29 month schedule delay

The DOD Lens Analogy• 6.1 Basic research is systematic study directed toward greater knowledge
or understanding of the fundamental aspects of phenomena and of observable facts
• 6.2 Applied research is systematic study to gain knowledge or understanding necessary to determine the means by which a recognized or specific need may be met
• 6.3 Advanced technology development includes all efforts that have moved into the development and integration of hardware for field experiments and tests

DUSD(AS&C) Report to Congress – July 2007
“PEO and PMs do not create program or portfolio plans that consciously identify needed technologies and/or their associated technology insertion points. The POM [Program Objective Memorandum] reflects a relatively short horizon, money-constrained program which does not adequately address technology insertion issues. There is no effective outreach mechanism between the user, S&T, acquisition, and logistics communities, hindering development of technology insertion plans.”

Technology Transition Challenges
• Strategic Investment Decisions– Prioritized Investments– Focus on Specific Technology Areas– Enabling Technologies to Meet Capability Gaps
• Technology Assessment & Maturation Process
– TRL Assessments – Moving from one Readiness Level to Another
• Roadmaps to Align Program and S&T Plans
– Funding and Schedule Alignment– Acquisition Process and TRL Level Alignment– Technology Insertion Points Identified
• Disciplined Systems Engineering Process to Manage Technology Transition Planning
– Documented Plans – Tech Transition Agreements– Specific Actions to Mature TRL Level
Cutting Across these Issues:
• Policy
• Organizational Goal Alignment
• Communication between Stakeholders (PM, User, S&T)
• Common Language for Technology Assessment, TRL Definitions, Terms, and Plans for Maturation
There is a Solution!
13
Technology Assessment and Transition Management (TATM) Process
• TATM process fosters collaboration, leveraging, and cost sharing among user, acquirer, technology developer, and sustainer communities
• TATM helps get technology to war fighter through disciplined systems engineering process
• Now being tailored and implemented by several organizations:– PEO Aviation– PEO Core Soldier– Joint Ground Robotics Office **

OSD Joint Ground Robotics TATM Process Endorsement
“This DAU Technology Transition Management process has a lot of merit. I adapted it for Joint Ground Robotics use, and it has been very effective for us.”

• Technology Transition Executive Steering Group (TT ESG) will address the issues in the Congressional Report
– Many issues have been ongoing for years
• Technology Transition Mgt provides a large return on investment by bridging the “Valley of Death”, thus benefiting from DOD’s S&T investments
• TATM is a systems engineering process to:– Facilitate Communication among Stakeholders– Create Technology Insertion Roadmaps– Develop Technology Transition Agreements
Summary
DAU recommends that SOCOM adopt a robust
Technology Transition Management Approach
