Technology Transition Agreement (TTA)

• Required for All ST Programs for Transition to
  Advanced Development
• Identifies Target Program of Record
• Programs With No TTA May Not Be Funded
• Primary Vehicle for Transition of Technologies to
  the Program
• Functions as the Technology Development Strategy
• Contains Information Necessary to Conduct
  Technology Readiness Assessment (TRA)
• Exit Criteria (to Include TRLs)
• Test and Evaluation Strategy
• Receiver Operator Characteristic (ROC) Curve
  Metrics and Attributes
• Acts as the Agreement Between the Advanced
  Developer and the ST Community for Successful
  Transition

8
ROC Curve

• Historically, Technologies Transition Without
  Metrics and Attributes that Allow Joint Project
  Manager (JPM) to Conduct Trade-Off Analyses
• ROC Curves and Spider Charts are Tools to
  Characterize Performance

9
Spider Chart

• Assess Technology Attributes
• Basis for Trades

10
Alignment Methodology
11
Technology Readiness Assessment (TRA)

• Review of Specific Component or System Determined
  to Have Met Criteria in the TTA
• Conducted Prior to Transition to Advanced
  Development
• All Critical Technologies Assessed
• Joint Project Manager (JPM) Defines the
  Attributes/ Criteria for Each TRL Level
• Joint Science and Technology Office Conducts the
  TRE
• JPM Assigns the TRL Based on the Independent TRE
  Results
• Overall System TRL Determined by Lowest TRL of
  Components and/or Subcomponents

12
Technology Readiness Assessments (TRA) Process
13
Technology Readiness Evaluation

• Provides Data to Support Technology Readiness
  Assessment (TRA)
• Paper Studies
• Field Test
• Lab Tests
• Used to Determine Effectiveness and Suitability
  of a Technology to Meet Program Criteria
• Conducted Prior to a Transition Event to Support
  a Milestone Decision, P3I, or Transition to
  Advanced Development
• Joint Science and Technology Office Executes the
  TRE

14
Upcoming Technology Readiness Assessments

• FY05 Collective Protection Technologies
• Absorbent Technologies
• Next Generation Filtration
• Tent and Liner Materials
• CP Systems
• Seals and Air Locks
• FY06 Next Generation Standoff Chemical and
  Biological Detection Systems
• Active and Passive
• Sub Systems
• Integrated Platforms
• FY07 Information System Tools
• Comparison of New Modeling and Simulation Tools
  to Real World
• Sensor Integration Testing

15
